light being,

I'm not sure what's out there that will work with both.  I assume that
the customer terminals belong to your establishment, ie, not laptops
that others bring in (with wifi expectations)?

I recall there use to be a program called MeterMaid on the LTSP.org
site, in the contribution area (http://ltsp.org/contrib/index.php) .  I
tried it several months back, but decided not to use it for some reason
or another.  So I wrote my own management application with
bash/awk/etc.  

My solution is based on pre-existing user accounts on the LTSP server,
so it may not be dynamic enough for your situation.  As well, it's a
custom solution, and I haven't had the time to rework it into a "out-of-
box" solution for community consumption yet.

I hope things work out for cafe!

email me if your interested.
