Nocatsplash might do what you want:

  http://nocat.net/

which can run on a linksys wrt54gl that's running openwrt

  http://openwrt.org/

or ChilliSpot (can also run on openwrt, and others)

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChilliSpot

or Wifidog

  http://dev.wifidog.org/

Googling up places that are discussing those releases should give you
pointers to others.

I haven't run any of them, but have had good luck using openwrt
running on various little wireless routers as openvpn endpoints.
