This is a fairly generic question. See below.

I would recommend using SQL Server for anything over about 500-1000
users. MS Access just really doesn't have the power to do much
more than that. Basically you would need something in the P166
range with 128mb of RAM. SQL Server really likes RAM. :) The
more the better.
> Will RadiusNT run faster or more reliably with SQL server?
Definately. Your issue isn't RadiusNT, its MS Access.
> Will RadiusNT work using Access 97?
Your definition of work will probably vary from mine. Personally,
I'd never put a production system on MS Access to begin with.

Yes.

If you have a support contract.

Look closer. :) Just click on "Contacting Us" of our website home page.

Actually, you should just use a single SQL Server with both RadiusNT
servers pointing to it. This is the optimal configuration for RadiusNT,
and the RadiusNT license allows for you to run it on two computers.

It should be fairly easy to port.
