Well some us serious people also use other OS's apart from Unix-base I personally use OS/2 which has satisfied my needs very nicely thankyou. The best saving grace for Ascend products I have found is the telnet interface. without it I would be looking elsewhere. Java is not always java, but I would like to see someone come up with a radius server written is java which could run nicely on any platform......
