Yep... go to preferences and then Automated Tasks (you can have an automated task dump a RADIUS file every so often). >We have some customers that are email only.

It's much faster and gives you a little more flexibility. You can do so by using a telnet or RSH session to the RADIUS server. - Shawn ------------------------------- Shawn D.
