Steve, thanks for the list.
It seems that the freeside is the best, as it can also provide a lot of
other functionalities I will have to run soon.
However, I had an attack of panic, seeing how much I have to learn just
to execute (with comprehension) installation instructions I saw in their
wiki. It will take me three days just to get the logic of it.
Ah, well. Not the first time in my life.
Anybody here would be holding my hand during the first installation?

Hi Petros, Nicolas,
I guess it depends on how you define your needs. There are a few
things that might be worth taking a quick look at.
Daloradius (http://www.daloradius.com/) is a full-featured billing
system that is Open Source and supports both voucher and post-paid
billing options. It has a captive portal.
Freeside (http://freeside.biz/freeside/) is a full ISP management
system that supports voucher and captive portal among many other
features.
RadiusDesk (https://sourceforge.net/projects/radiusdesk/) is Open
Source and has billing/captive portal features
None of the above will run on a WiFi AP but are designed as a gateway
server software that would need probably something like an Intel NUC
or similar to run.
There is also PfSense (https://www.pfsense.org/), and a host of
similar software, that are network gateway/security solutions designed
to run on small memory/cpu footprint devices that also includes a
captive portal but no voucher systems.
Cheers... Steve Song

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for your answer. It creates two more questions, though:
1. Can you recommend any functionally equivalent solution for the
time being?
None that I know of.
there might be a way using nodogsplash and a radius server, but never
tried.
2. Do you have any expectations when PitBull
could be available?
End of the year maybe? don't know, sorry :(
Best,
P.
