RE: [RadiusNT] GRIC / IPASS Roaming?

Ed,
We have not had any problems or slowness with local logon's. We have not
tried to use the Radius NT for roaming yet, mainly because of my lack of
knowledge about SQL. I had a lot of trouble implementing the Emerald/Radius
NT solution, and so I opted for the Vircom roaming software. It was quick
and easy, and since the Vircom and Radius NT boxes are both connected at
100mb, it's pretty fast. The Emerald/Radius NT software is great, it's just
my lack of SQL knowledge that forced me to use Vircom. I may in the future
change to Radius NT for roaming, but I'm not sure.

Ken,
Does this slow down local logon's? What if you put RadiusNT first and
used the roaming on it? Did you try it that way? If so what happened?
