Re: RADIUS Products

[Steve Bernard <sbernard () GMU EDU>]

We are still in the development phase, but have had reasonable success with Radiator. Not to belittle the offering but, 
I haven't seen anything that couldn't be done with FreeRADIUS and a little elbow grease. I think that it comes down to 
time, experience, and the equipment that you are integrating with. There isn't a limit on email support with open 
source software ;) On the flip side, we haven't run into a situation that requires extensive software enhancements.
