Wombat/Plat has a radius integration that will do that, and we have some of our 
own custom things that we are working on to make it do some other things we 
want it to do.  It's not very much work to get it implemented if you know what 
you are doing... but if you are wanting a drop in solution maybe Powercode will 
do what you want.  I know I wasn't going to pay more than .10/customer/month.  
It also integrates well with IPPay.  Honestly, the money I am saving over a 
traditional merchant account by switching to IPPay is more than paying for 
Platypus.

Their API is very open and they will let you do about anything with the 
software.  I don't know if Powercode is all web based or not, but having a 
client32 application is pretty nice to have for my techs/billing people.  In 
addition, it tracks our sales commissions, customer referrals, and more.  I'm 
not trying to sell it, but just giving an explanation on why I'm using it.  I 
reviewed powercode, and the price blew me away.  1400 customers was almost 
$2000 per month.  Almost in one month I pay for Wombat/Platypus for a year.

Nothing did everything we wanted, so we looked at cost and how do we customize 
it to our needs.  Platypus/Wombat fit the bill.  They even came out and did a 
two day training seminar for my whole company, made sure the software/system 
was completely setup correctly for $1k/day.  I probably could have figured it 
out, but I wanted to make sure someone was training my people correctly + I 
didn't have the time.

If you have a developer to make things work together, that's a great option.

Powercode's alternative is to shut the customer off and have them pay their 
bill.  I'd rather that then a phone call.  Just my opinion.

Chuck - does your Wombat/Platypus shut customers off, track equipment, etc or 
is it simply a billing system?
