The Merit AAA server (on which the Ascend commercial RADIUS product is based) has a much better way to handle these situations called AATVs. You want to add something special for "your" version of RADIUS ? No problem. Write an AATV that adheres to a specific API, and don't touch the mainline source code. -- j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | James FitzGibbon james@nexis.net | | The Nexis Group Voice/Fax : 416 410-0100 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
