If you wish to restrict to hours per day you can run cron and iptables 
to lock internet access. I think smoothwall and clones has that 
functionality. But that is a solid lock which doesn't give notification 
of the upcoming event.

The other way I could think of would be to have dan g put up a redirect 
when the internet hours are up... "Sorry kids go out and play. The 
internet is down until another day"

I haven't seen login controls
