Michael, I would be very interested in what you can come up with. Since you
said form-based is not possible, i'm sure you can write add-ins to redirect
users to a page hosted on a dedicated site to give them more info on the
network usage policies right? I don't mind stuck with the "Basic
Authentication" method in ISA, just that i wanted to be able to remind that
what's exceptable (and maybe put up some ads).
