Danny,

I'm not sure about accounting. I only use this if my SQL Server goes down -
I just authenticate anybody that calls and worry about fixing my SQL Server
and just lose the accounting. Anyone else know this one?

Ok.

So this means that when my customers log in, they would be let in even if
they use their own usernames/passwords.

But how would RadiusNT do accounting for their sessions ? Would accounting
info be made for the user "Default" ? Or would it be for the username that
my customer used ?
