Let me get this straight; you bought a load of USR kit when for half the
price you could have bought Livingston PM3.  What's worse you can't use
it.  So you paid twice the price for kit you can't use.

hhmmm....  which business college did you go to ?

Actually I know that the USR NetServers will work with a radius server
running on a linux/freebsd platform built from livingston source, but I
suppose that USR presume that if you are dumb enough to waste money on
their kit then you are probably dumb enough to believe their marketing
tripe and waste another $5,000 on a version of their 'special' radius
server for freebsd.

Interoperability ???   what does that mean ????  ...nah I don't think I
should use that as a criteria when considering what kit to buy!!!!

OK I admit this was a little facetious but I cannot see a valid reason
why people would buy USR kit, I can only assume that you bought more on
market brand than on research into available products.  What's worse you
probably can't get your money back.  Even if I was foolish enough to buy
USR in the first place I would tell them to get it working with my
"INDUSTRY STANDARD" Livingston radius server otherwise the kit would be
returned for a full refund (that's why we try to pay for everything by
credit card).
