i have a simple wired Ethernet LAN. its connected with BayLan Switches which 
are not configurable in any way. these switches only provide switching, 
nothing else.
i run an internet service on this LAN.
i want that my LAN clients when trying to access internet must be first 
authenticated, then authorized for services (like smtp, http, irc, yahoo 
etc) and lastly they are accounted for what resources they have consumed.
the problem is simply i dont have configurable 802.1x enabled switches so 
that i can setup a freeRADIUS server
what else i can do
