The OpenWRT firmware (www.openwrt.org) with the X-WRT GUI
(www.x-wrt.org) on my Linksys WRT54g routers offers a captive portal
with callout to an authentication server etc, which could presumably
display an AUP page instead.  Haven't tried it yet but I've been very
happy with the parts of it that I do use.

The stable "white russian" release runs on a variety of broadcom-based
APs and the upcoming "kamikaze" release is intended to run on a wider
variety of chipsets.
