  If it helps, maybe email me off-list.  I'm usually happy to join calls where I can pull rank on the vendor.

Vendor: FreeRADIUS Open Source, it's terrible.  We're a billion dollar company, and filled with geniuses.  Our product is perfect!

Alan: Hi!  I've been doing RADIUS since 1997.  When did you start your IT career?  Oh, I've also written most of the RADIUS standards.  And if I see that your product does things I don't like, I'll just update the next rev of the standards to forbid it.  At which point your product will be official non-compliant with the RFCs.  And your customers will be pointing this out during sales calls.  Have a nice day!

Vendor: Uh... I guess we'll fix it then.

  I've had these conversations many times.

  Where facts, logic, and reason don't work, pulling rank generally works.
