BTW, _if_ you use RADIUS Accounting for your billing keep in mind that
the logged volume is the compressed one if you have link compression
enabled. This can make up for a remarkable difference in some cases
and no difference at all in others. Ascend has neither said yes nor
no to this obvservation yet, but it's clearly visible if you have an
independent IP accounting to compare. Bad enough one thing that compresses
exorbitantly well is broadcast ping attacks :-/
