	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
		ACC_RADIUS module is used to account transaction information to 
		<acronym>RADIUS</acronym> server. It binds to ACC module API and uses the
		same accounting mechanisms as for other backends.
	</para>
	<para>
		Therefore you need this module just to send accounting data to a
		RADIUS server - for more documentation regarding accounting, see the ACC
		readme.
