[freeside] Not (RADIATOR | ICRADIUS)

[ivan]

Cistron  http://www.radius.cistron.nl/
  ancestor of most modern RADIUS servers

ICRadius ftp://ftp.cheapnet.net/pub/icradius/
  a cistron variant with MySQL support

Xtradius http://www.xtradius.com/
  a cistron variant with many callbacks including MySQL support.  This
  would probably be a good choice to use in conjunction with the signup
  server.

http://www.freeradius.org/ looks promising for the future - it's a
next-generation RADIUS server by the authors of Cistron and ICRadius.
