[VOP RADIUS] DialUp Usa and Vircom

Title: Message

I almost took the VP of Technology there last year.  I decided not to after spending 3 weeks there right before Sept 11th.  They were a mess.  Every tech decision was driven by non technical CEO and President.  Hell they started out a search engine company that went no where (www.allthesites.com).  They wanted to convert form 160 instances of Optigold to Rodopi in 60 Days.  They had a very young and inexperienced tech staff that had no ISP experience at all.     Erik Tijburg RedMoon BroadBand ISP Support Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6810 Main Street  Frisco, TX 75034 Office (972) 731-0696 Cell   (469) 450-5078 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mike Herrera Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 11:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VOP RADIUS] DialUp Usa and Vircom CISP sucks BIG TIME!  They started out fine and then started firing their staff wholesale and brought in a bunch of useless people.  The initial staff was made up of good people eager and willing to help, they replaced them with people who had none of that going for them.   MikeH     Mike Herrera Access One Online Services http://www.access-one.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Erik Tijburg Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 10:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VOP RADIUS] DialUp Usa and Vircom I have seen this problem with all the wholesale networks that I have worked with.  Radius Accounting packets are not a priority to wholesalers.  They want you to have simultaneous logins and customers stuck in radius so they can charge you more.  I did some work for CISP, who is a large wholesale aggrator for UUNet, Sprint, Qwest and about a half a dozen others. They had to turn off simultaneous login checking and some other features of Steele belted radius because of these issues.  We figured out that we only got 1 out of 8 watchdog packets and 1 out of 15 Stop packets.     Erik Tijburg
