   I only use one external app here, showold.pl to have a quick look at the   
   outbound.

   I had a quick look at argus shortly after it was released. Quite impressive. I   
   don't have a windows box here so I haven't been able to follow radius/taurus   
   but from what I read they made some improvements.   
      
   Even if there was a graphical front end I don't think I'd use it but I do get   
   nostalgic for the old FD, Binkley and PoP days.. :)
