Hi,

RADIUS is an authentication system used by ISP's etc for checking a userid and 
password when you dial in.  I think the reference is looked after by 
Livingston: pretty much every network hardware supplier should have info about 
it.

Guess TACAS is the samr thing - but you will need to check it out by searching 
eb engines etc ;-)

RADIUS can ceraintly be used for billing as it logs connections/disconnections. 
 You might try asking on an ISP related mailing list as it is _the_ most common 
system so I am sure they would have lots of good tips and possibly a script or 
two you could use.

Good luck,

Steve
