That figure is for the enhanced source, we also have binary releases but not for FreeBSD (yet) -- not for technical, but management, reasons. The two code bases are very close. We charge a license fee for the "supported" software which has more features, but we also have the "basic" version which is our committment to the betterment of the net. > Personally I think it was a conspiracy by said "big boys"[1] to keep > economical radius software away from the populace and make them buy > their own products. No, we charge that fee to defray our support costs and keep our team together. If you have a bone to pick about the fee structure, maybe dropping a line to aaa-license@merit.edu would get some sort of reply. Who knows, maybe "they" would work out a deal for some set of "givens". Regards, web... -- William Bulley Senior Systems Research Programmer Merit Network, Inc.
