I still have a soft spot for the Portmasters :-). We had rows of PM2's with US robotics 33.6K sportster modems attached on 8mm tape racks. Back when a town of 40K people could all connect through 2XT1's and everyone was happy. Sam Moats On 2013-12-13 16:59, Jon Lewis wrote:

I'm not sure about the current state of the industry it's been a while since I was responsible for an access network. In the past we would keep radius logs for about 4 months, these would include the username,IP address and yes (to date myself) the caller id of the customer at the time.
We used to keep several years worth of RADIUS summary data, which included username, call end time, duration, IP, NAS-IP, ANI, and DNIS, except for where the telco wouldn't sell PRI and we had to use CT1, where those weren't available. How's that for dating? :)

Rack of Sportsters, "Digicrap"[1] on top, and some Total Control USR modems on the table/overflow.
[1] That's what I ended up nicknaming Digicom's rackmount modem chassis as their modems were unreliable (would repeatedly lock up requiring manual/physical resets and causing major problems for our hunt group). We eventually got them to buy it back as they were unable to resolve their problems.
