What exactly is the requirement for the number of licenses we need on our
NT servers as an ISP? One per dial-up port plus one for each local machine?
One for each local machine only?

Don't waste your time with RAS and the like. With a product like Radius
you don't need either licences per ports or per users, etc. just for the
local machines and whatever you have on the LAN...
Something like MCIS I believe has a different licensing structure...
(someone feel free to jump in)
The only other time you need to be concerned about licenses in terms of
dial-ups is if you are giving dial-up users accounts on NT (in which case,
why?)
