Hello Eric - I answered a question the other day about radius servers (Radiator), but you may be interested to know that we also offer a solution in this area called "Nets" (commercial source code product). http://www.open.com.au/nets Many readers of this list kindly assisted us with beta-testing of Nets about a year ago, prior to release. Please contact me directly if interested. regards Hugh On Thu, 13 Dec 2001 07:45, Eric Gauthier wrote: > > curious ... how did you implement this database ?
