Ummm, well what is the RAW format? So, the Livingston format is pretty much useless with Livingston's Radius' most current version?

So I have to weed out all the CR's and start records first?

That's a major bummer. Is there THAT many different RADIUS log formats? I thought that was one of the benefits of using Livingston's Radius. I thought Livingston and Merit were THE Radius servers, no? This is definitely one area where Optigold should look at improving, especially with Radius ABM coming soon... Just disappointed in that response.

Could you please explain these fields? (Or point me to a FAQ somewhere.) I assume login is user-name, and time-online, but total calls and secondary time online I do not understand. What format is bandwidth used in? Bytes, Kbytes, Mbytes? Thanks,
