Can 
i 
implement 
user 
login, 
consuming 
of 
card 
codes, 
etc. 
with 
only 
packets 
(acct)

or 
im 
missing 
some 
crucial 
points?

No 
idea.  
What 
"card 
codes" 
are 
you 
talking 
about?

The problem: 
    There is a host that controls internet access for 25 different machines.
    For having internet access machine user must type prepaid code.
      (there are 1000 generated prepaid valid codes)
    With one prepaid code user can use the internet for 1h.
    If user used only 20min of his current prepaid code he can use it again. 
         on another machine (this code now gives 40min of internet access)

My naive solution:
    Use freeradius on host and special .net app on every user machine
    to control everything. 

>> 
I 
hope 
that 
i 
(user, 
client) 
can 
make 
an 
behaviour 
of 
communicating 
with 
freeradius 
every 
10sec
>> 
and 
consuming 
10sec 
of 
currently 
selected 
card 
code.

You 
don't 
want 
to 
send 
accounting 
packets 
to 
the 
server 
every 
10s.

a 
very 
bad 
idea.

If 
you 
need 
10s 
granularity 
on 
accounting, 
use 
a 
local 
database.
