I consider User Request - Admin Quit,User Request - Normal LAPM
Disconnect,Admin Reset,Host Request,Idle Timeout, Session Timeout,Login
Timeout, and User Request - PPP Term Req all to be 'normal'. I also exlude
any SLIP users, as they will always show up as Lost-Carrier.

It was written by Chris Adams <cadams@ro.com>. Its the same as the one
that summaries the syslog stats, but with one change if
(/LE-Terminate-Detail =(.+)$/) so as to parse the detail file instead.

Syslog will give you some indication of this, but those results will be
polluted with other info. Still, I found it useful to look at especially
when going from different versions of ComOS. For example, when I went from
3.8 to a beta to 3.8.2, there was a difference of a few percentage points
that registered in the syslog stats as well as the RADIUS stats.
>I'm running 3.8 now. I tried 3.8.2 and it was much much much worse.
Interesting. It was pretty well the same for me save a few percentage
points. Are you running PRIs or CT1s? It was difficult at the time to
compare, because 3.8.2 came out just around xmas where a lot more people
all of a sudden started trying to connect with v.90, so I expected the
problems to increase. But sampling those who already had v.90, there was a
slight improvement and it also addressed the latency issue with some HCF
chipsets that was bugging our gamers.
