This is a feature of a front-end hotspot or portal device, not Freeside.  
Freeside is a back-office application, not a standalone hotspot or 
portal.

You can use an existing hotspot or portal device with Freeside to 
provide this functionality.  Freeside supplies the signup page for 
setting up such a system as well as real-time credit card charging and 
RADIUS provisioning.
