RADIUS is absolutely not necessary... We have countless gateways (5300s, 
Qunitum, etc) running perfectly fine without it.  RADIUS is just a 
broken way to deal with authentication and accounting, just because some 
Cisco moron figured since it worked so well in the Dialup world it would 
work as well with VoIP...  Boy where they wrong.

I don't want to hear people crying when (not if) RADIUS fails them.  
I've been there and seen the Evil.


Why not leverage the power of Asterisk as a soft-switch?
