RE: (ASCEND) Accounting records

["Troy Settle" <st@i-Plus.net>]

It's been my experience that Ascend keeps speed negotiations to itself, only
reporting the initial connect speed (which has been sufficient for us).  As
for compression and error correction, it's interesting, but I personally
don't see any real value for it.

I think  you'll find that Ascend does have a couple accounting attributes
that you'll find useful, namely the Ascend-Connect-Progress and
Ascend-Disconnect-Cause.  Without those 2 bits of information (which no
other vendor seems to provide in as much detail), our helpdesk would be
unable to function.

Two of the things on my wishlist for Ascend, is to have modem speeds in the
Start records, and usernames in Stop records from failed login attempts.

BUT! Not until the current feature set is stabalized, we don't need more
broken code.

** Hi,
** 	Being from a previously all-portmaster shop, some of the
** things we have
** become accustomed to seeing are sometimes difficult to find on an
** Ascend.  One of the things we've recently discovered isn't quite
** the same
** is the radius account logging.  On the Portmasters, there was a
** connect-info that logged the modem speed, compression, and error
** correction
** in both the start and the stop record.  Is there anything similar in the
** MAXTNT that we are missing that would at least show us the initial modem
** speed negotiated and the final modem speed?
**
** Thanks,
** Tim
