This came as quite a shock after purchasing (6) Total Control Chassis with
x2 support. After their constant claims that 'Emerald was non-RFC
compliant and I should use USR's Accounting server', and it is 'Emerald's
support of Ascend that is the problem' today they announced: "USR has
chosen not to support the present RFC for RADIUS accounting."
After my disclosure of carring this to the ISP list here is their NOW
official response:
There are incompatibility issues with our Netserver working in
conjunction with Emerald's Security/Accounting Software. The reason
being is that the Netserver is sending some vendor specific attributes
that Emerald's Security/Accounting doesn't recognize.
Thanks to the assistance of Dale I can say the problem is rather easy to
fix. Therefore, any ISP's that choose to use USR Total Control Chassis,
and want to use a fully intergrated accounting/billing/authentication
system (and yes Dale it does more than that). Rather than listen to the
comments from USR, simply make the changes that I am sure Dale will post to
these list.
The purpose of this message is to let everyone know that Emerald/RadiusNT
can support USR.
