I tend to agree with Teodor.Cisco's VSA's are broken. They make it very very hard to do pre-paid calling. Everyone says they have a solution, but none of them work really well. They are either overcomplicated or only allow a single call per account number.
Even if RADIUS was made to support dial-up and not voice, now all commercial and
even open source packages support it. So, even if VSA's etc are indeed a problem,
the Cisco VSA's at least tend to become a de-facto standard.
Be carefull. What are Your speaking of? About RADIUS as protocol which is hardware independent or about Cisco's RADIUS client realization? Write your own dictionary for RADIUS and be happy. Cisco's dictionary defines some set of attributes which helps to identify the call and no more. How to work with this attributes is your own problems because standard RADIUS defines only a little set of attributes for authentication and accounting. All other are left for Vendor and _its_ realization of attribute processing.
P.S. Radius athorization and accounting is needed, but only in part of Radius standard before we may write and register our own dictionary, IMHO.
