Who are you gonna call gets worse on some products, like the 5300 in voice
applications.  As I've been reading the documentation, a song was singing
at the edge of my consciousness.

OK. It supports H.323 Gatekeepers.

It also supports AAA with RADIUS and TACACS+, allowing cryptographic user
authentication...cryptography....ah....keys....yep...the AAA server is the
Keymaster.

So we have a product that supports the Gatekeeper and the Keymaster.  Want
