I'm happy to announce the release of Freeside 1.3.0. There aren't .debs just yet, but I'm working on them.
Freeside is an open-source billing and account administration package for ISPs. You can download the new version, read the documentation, and play with a web demo at <http://www.sisd.com/freeside>. New features include: - Database transactions - Web aging reports - Export of BIND and Apache configuration files. - Session monitor to track and limit usage on a time (hourly/"minutely") basis. This can be used, with RADIUS, to keep track of NAS ports, and can also be used to implement hotel- or cafe- type access, where the user must sign in on a webpage before being granted access to the network. In conjunction with the session server, prepaid cards can now be for an amount of time rather than money. Enjoy! -- meow _ivan
