No. Those stats are taken from the RADIUS logs. They are calls that are
completed and authenticated. These are not take from syslog.

No, we are not. Granted, stats between platforms and reporting methods
between various implementations are not 100% comparable, but I think the
information is more useful than just religiously supporting one platform
over another. If you have any metrics to show that the PM3 is superior or
on-par with other terminal servers I would be happy to hear it. I would
love to stick with the Portmasters.
