Can someone give me an idea exactly what things are intended to be tested
via RADIUS, or some other AAA system?

Are we talking about building SIP/IAX/H323 entries from RADIUS?

At this point, I'm not really worried about call detail, as that's something
that * already can dump to a database, it can be adapted to dump back to any
service. (Unless this is really the primary objective of the whole RADIUS
discussion.)
