We want to create a all in one product and need a developer to apply his time to create our product as fast as possible.

We need the following supported on any cheapy router with a onboard ADSL rj-11 annexure A port(POTS).

Product A

1. Support for PPPOE.
2. Support for L2TP tunnel.
3. Webif to quickly setup PPPOE & L2TP.
4. Possibly a way to create a script config file that can be uploaded to preconfigure a router in the least possible time.

NB The finished product must be documented.

Product B

1. Support for PPPOE.
2. Support for L2TP tunnel.
3. Working Hotspot with captive portal and walled garden running either on the Eth port or on a optional WiFi interface.
4. The Hotspot must authenticat users against a radius client and be able to send back accounting data to the radius.
5. Hotspot login page must be customizable to certain extent.
5. Custom Webif is optional.

We are offering an incentive of $1000 USD to the person or group who can implement this and deliver the goods.

Regards

How about offering some free shares holder benefits as an incentive?

The finished product will not be resold, it will be used inhouse. Shares is not a option. Any other takers on the offer?

How many DSL lines do you have in this particular house?

Is this relevant? If you know how to do this, and think this is not a fair price then please tell us what you think is a fair price? We think it is a really fair price.

post on ´personnel wanted´ forums for an IT professional, not here on a technology and knowledge oriented forum. You are wasting valuable reading time of forum contributors on reading about 1000 $, or whatever money whatever for. Totally uninteresting and not helping anybody nor yourselves.

I totally agree with doddel.

Also, please stop these double postings. If someone is interested, I am pretty sure they will get in touch with you.

At a standard full-burdened engineering rate in the ballpark of ~$100/hour in the U.S., I suspect you're at least an order of magnitude shy on your incentive.

Of course, you might get a savvy student or someone who just wants to use it as a means to learn something for their own edification -- I suppose that's why you're posting here?  But no way are you going to find a regular software engineering company that'd do what you ask for only $1k.

OK, if you go outside the U.S. you might get under $10k as well, I suppose... and the programmers outside the U.S. are certainly as good as those inside...

The irony of it all is that the networking requirements are trivial and pretty much already exist in OWRT.  In fact, OWRT + WiFiDog would probably fulfill what you're asking for.

I would actually be interested, but have some definite concerns, not the least of which is that I've seen many projects start bounty programs that end up failing mostly due to benefactors never paying.  Come out front with an escrow or use a program like BountySource or BountyCounty and you'll probably get more serious interest.

This is the second major strike against it - you can't expect a re-creation of a project like OpenWRT (which the word 'any' implies) on that budget.  One, maybe two major architectures.  This also helps clear up the 'optional wifi' and some of the open-ended customization requirements in product B.

And the 3rd strike.  Although I disagree with the 'order of magnitude' estimation (which it could still easily hit with enough customization requirements), good freelance UNIX engineering contractors in the US make a minimum of $100 per hour, and that's if they're interested in the job.  I doubt putting all of that together (both products, with documentation) is going to take <= 10 hours.
