VMPS - Initial project ideas

[Hairy51]

Excellent, thanks for all your comments guys - i have managed to successfully
download, compile and install the Freeradius 2.1.1 application and have
delved into the vmpsd.conf.inf file

Is there any documentation out there on how to get a basic VMPS system up
and running? I am purely in the testing stages at the moment, but would like
to get the box attached to a switch and begin responding to VMPS requests as
quick as possible...

Any inout much appreciated,

Cheers

Jon
