TCCSoftware

Software built for Internet service providers

Our software division was established in 1996 to write custom software for ISPs. Two products came out of it and are still in service.

TCCRadius Standard Edition

An inexpensive but full-featured RADIUS server for the Windows Server platform — AAA, wireless hotspot support, and RFC compliance.

  • ODBC, TEXT, and NTSAM authentication modes
  • Time-of-day restrictions and caller-ID verification
  • Web-based administration, NT group authentication
  • No dependent DLLs in TEXT mode
  • Accept and Update failsafe modes via a text file edit — keeps the network up during database trouble

MaxStat Session Viewer

An SNMP management tool for Remote Access Servers. Gathers user session statistics across a wide range of NAS products.

  • View, sort, and log connect time, modem speed, IP, service type
  • Monitor multiple NAS units at once
  • Right-click to disconnect a user
  • Custom icons flag digital users, long sessions, multiple logons
  • Auto-disconnect, email alerts, HTML export, activity logging
Free Reference

The Netmask & CIDR reference tables

A long-running reference for network engineers: subnet bits, host bits, subnet counts, hosts per subnet, and hex and dotted-decimal notation — broken out mask by mask.

These tables have lived at taloncc.com/netmask/ for years and are staying exactly where they are.
