2. give you an "always on" service as advertised
3. give you the ability to run widely used Net software like Netmeeting
4. give you a modem that works with ALL makes and models of
computer and OSs.
5. give you a stable system to log into (HG RADIUS server probs)
6. give you any compensation for their problems.
7. give you the truth when you ring the Hinderdesk(TM).

I find this all quite amusing. Granted, we have nowhere near
the number of people as they do.
I had some trouble getting various off the shelf
RADIUS servers working with BT ADSL, so simply
wrote my own. Get the RFCs and the sample md5 code,
and bingo - an evenings work.
All directly on to an SQL database with accounting logs, etc, etc.
Seems a shame BT have so much trouble <-:

AFAIR some flavours of BSD come with RADIUS already
to go. XM

1) an always on connection - nearly always off they mean :-)

If, however we gave them a blow-job and they gave us ADSL.....

in legal terms it would be legitimate to argue that "always on"
constitutes the generally recognised five nines 99.999% uptime
in the rest of the telecoms industry, given my uptime varies between
50%-80% that would mean the service is 20,000 to 50,000 times
worse than the established norm therefore it is "not fit for purpose"
and "not of merchantable quality". XM

yeah, but if you can it's always better to "roll your own" for the specific task
in hand.
One of the Guys here wrote a custom radius here from the open source RadiusD for
the Bush WebTVs that are being advertised everywhere. Bush designed the tellies,
Virgin are providing the Web content and services, and we(can't say who because
we are just a service not a partner) are providing the dialup connectivety and
Webmail solutions.

Maybe you should offer your services to BTOW, at a suitable
price...

They didn't mention anything about DNS.
There are plenty of other reasons which
a static IP address causes less problems
than dynamic.
