I remember carrying Windun 2.0 diskettes! to client sites to upgrade the windows dialup client. And also putting fancy AT strings to force the modem to connect on say v.34(33.6) for newer modems trying to do funny stuff on TKL lines. @mich You remembered Karen i raise you 2; Lower Kabete and Runda.

lol! ... you clearly dont want us started on all that past ....
Anyways, first i had radius running and the backup was on my desktop pc (on a windows box). I learned that after some incident with one of the servers, so i rebuilt the second one on my PC to keep working before we could restore the primary. With time i finally put it on a spare server (all windows).
I also had to deal with dual logins - and had to get a tool that would kick out the second logged in person. Before finally upgrading to some radius that understood single logins.
Anyone recall Lucent Portmaster 2 with 30 serial ports?. That was the master of all dialups.
Then some clients with email servers on dialup we had to assign a static IP so that they could do ETRN for email forwarding.
Bu then again we had lines everywhere and having a roaming IP was a nightmare on network that was fully static IP routing!.
Some clients had bad dialin lines so we had to reduce their MTU on dialup - Folks from Karen we could actually hear KBC radio on just placing the receiver on the ear.
Winsock dll - what was that?
Tumetoka mbali! :)
