Prepaid billing using freeradius and rlm_counter/rlm_sqlcounter

[Craig Russell]

I have not tried it myself yet (due to back-ordered equipment and time 
constraints) but I have been looking at phpmyprepaid for just this type 
of solution.  Its free and it is designed to work with freeradius and 
mysql and their are a lot of how-to's floating around the internet 
(google for phpmyprepaid).

Maybe someone else on the list has some more experience with it.

Let me know how it works for you if you decide to give it a try.

Thanks,

Craig Russell
