It is very efficient as far as CPU cycles are concerned. The 'releases' are rock solid because they have already been field tested by many users before being called a release.
It is also very flexible. The sql queries for MySql are not hard coded, they are in a config file. I am not familiar with the IC radius schema, but it wouldn't surprise me to find out you might be able to run a test environment using your current schema. Once you are satisfied though, I would think converting to the standard FR schema would be the thing to do. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Scott A.
