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!!!! regards damian 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). -- * PIAB - PoP In A Box - the total solution for ISPs, with more features * than a Constable landscape, and very cheap too!! * http://www.cablenet.net/cablenet/popinabox/ * Damian Hamill damian@cablenet.net
