Hi there Greger. I'm curious as to why a RADIUS server is required. Is
this
for billing purposes?

Hi,
To easily manage accounting and authorization use radius.
I'm using radius for these purposes.
regards,
Ryan

Hi,
I would recommend any of the following for the aforesaid:
1. Cisco media gateway (Router can be converted to a media gateway using
voice interface cards). We use Cisco 2600 and 7200 (with MPLS support)
series for this functionality.
2. NMS media gateway
Some other market leading products are also available for this purpose,
for example products from Lucent, Alcatel, etc.
Regards,
Benjamin.

Yes, RADIUS is also quite efficient for authentication and is a very
good interface into a multitude of user databases ranging from unix user
accounts, Active Directory, LDAP, any sql database etc etc.
(And Concy listed a RADIUS *client* as a requirement. I just
corrected that to a server. I'm not saying that you should use
RADIUS...)
