Acct-Session-ID is a NAS calcultaed number. It has nothing to do with
the RADIUS server. I beleive if you configure a NTP and setup the
Computone to use it, it will have unique IDS on reboot. Unfortunately,
I am not an experienced user at it.

The calls table and the callsonline view is related, but NOT the same.
If callsonline isn't working, you either don't have the trigger
installed
to upkeep the callsonline table (actually the server ports table) or
you don't have entries in the server ports table for the NAS.

I am not sure what that would have to do with it, unless the
entries for that NAS jsut aren't in the server ports table.

Nope. Emerald isn't looking where you are. :(
