Wouldn't an ordinary renewal account work? You would create a cd that
has a dial account on it (call it "prepay"). Set this account to a 5
minute disconnect time. The user picks up or buys a cd from the store,
gas station, or whatever, and then autoruns the CD. It creates an
account, and then dials up to Emerald. Once auth'ed, the user is
displayed the signup server, and enters his/her information. Emerald
then creates an account that is renewal, and then downloads an active
script (IEAK) that deletes their dial up information, and then recreates
a new dial-up connection with their information.
At the end of their signup term, Emerald will generate and
invoice(statement) for their next period of time.

Can we start a discussion about settingup prepaid internet...
Emerald 2.5 is my constraint for this application.
How would one begin.. are there any technical articles out there...
Basically I am looking to market gas card look a likes that are setup
cd's
for a prepaid internet service that never expires...
basically for $14.95 you get 200 number of hours.
In the package will be a signup cd that takes you to a prepaid sign
screen
that you scratch off your temporary username and not the password (thats
our
unique id for relating customers service enquiries to know its a prepaid
account) and type them in then you get to change the contact info as
well as
the username and password
they get a summary page or an active setup file download..
then the minutes start clicking away..
How would one recharge the account with minutes and how do I keep track
of
the minutes they use and keep them from getting access after they have
exceeded their limits.
