Unfortunately, the radius_acc module is currently in middle of
a reconstruction. It is being merged with acc module and some
shortcomings in it are being fixed. The updated version will
be available in the next release of ser. In the meantime, you
can try using the version on CVS (available as a tarball at
http://www.iptel.org/~jiri/etc/radius/) at your risk.

That sounds appealing. We have currently no development cycles as everybody
is busy with maintaining the currently available software. However, if
anyone is willing to volunteer and implement a B2BUA, we will be glad
to provide guidance on that.
