[freeside-users] How-to setup a Radius interface for Billing ?

[Ivan]

None of the recent VoIP integrations I've done have been via RADIUS or 
used svc_acct services.

I've been using svc_phone services, and either importing the CDRs as CSV 
data or inserting them into the database directly.

This is fairly new functionality and may not be the easiest thing for 
novice users of the free download to setup yet.

Don't neglect the fine manual:
