Cool... definately sounds pretty nice...

I could probably put some custom stuff into Optigold ISP to allow for 
Radiator to authenticate directly from it, but to be honest, it would 
probably be easier to just wait until FileMaker Pro 5.0 in May.  Which 
adds a two-way SQL/ODBC plug-in.

In your "ideal" world, how would *you* want to autenticate from the 
Optigold ISp database?

Its supplied as full source code. It works with a wide range of user databases,
including flat file, DBM, password file, SQL, LDAP, Proxy etc etc, and runs on
Unix, NT, Win95/98, Rhapsody etc. When it comes to SQL, it can work with almost
any free or commercial SQL server.

What we would really like to be able to do is to authenticate users directly
out of the OptiGold database, and insert dialup usage records dorectly into the
database. That makes for a very tightly integrated auth/billing/cust management
package.

Hm... Radiator is a RADIUS server I take it?

Are there any hooks into Radiator, or how does Radiator allow other apps 
to talk to it?

I, for one, would sure love to see some integration between Radiator and
Optigold.
