Then I guess you have never build a calling card system with a Cisco :-)

TCL is used as the "Dialplan language" on cisco for any type of call 
origination that is more complex than can be handled with a "dial-peer" 
config. You can play IVR prompts and do arbitrary radius/tacacs AAA on the 
responses (As well as things like DID and CLID) using TCL on any cisco that 
supports VoIP. The IVR prompts (and TCL scripts) can be saved locally on the 
cisco's flash or can be sucked from a tftp at will.

Its amazing how many things you can do with a couple of ciscos, tftpd, 
FreeRADIUS and a few lines of TCL ;-)

Oh, In other slightly offtopic news I have setup a new wiki for FreeRADIUS at 
http://wiki.freeradius.org 

Cheers
