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! :) Mich
