Has anyone done the comparison lately in terms of the license and support costs for each of these Radius versions? I will go through a full evaluation soon enough, and have been following this thread very closely. Thanks for any input you have on the cost, service and support experiences that each of the previously mentioned vendor versions have. My opinions will be kept out of it for now. thanks Edwin Everett Cargill, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: cmadams at HiWAAY.net [mailto:cmadams at HiWAAY.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2001 1:43 PM To: ascend-users at bungi.com Subject: Re: (ASCEND) What RADIUS server?

But does everyone need all the extra features? I don't see that much difference in the feature set of FreeRADIUS and NavisRadius 3.0 (except that FreeRADIUS doesn't depend on a reliable Java runtime). I currently use Cistron RADIUS with some local patches, and it meets my needs quite well. When Livingston started using Java for their GUI management tools, I thought it was a good idea. I don't like Java for a daemon that I have to have 100% reliability from though. I'd use Radiator (written in Perl) before using something written in Java. -- Chris Adams <cmadams at hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq> ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
