This is PortaOne official policy and it is 100% in line with what we state on our website.

PortaBilling100 allows doing both prepaid and postpaid billing for any RADIUS based equipment, for example, Cisco, NextTone, Quintum, Mera MVTS, and open source Asterisk. Currently, PortaOne has tens of clients that use PortaBilling100 with Asterisk.

However, PortaOne provides technical support for its products only. We do NOT provide configuration assistance for Asterisk, Cisco or any other equipment as a part of our technical support program.

The latest I've gotten from Porta One is they do not support integration of
any version of Asterisk with PortaOne. I'd suggest not using their billing software
where Asterisk is involved as you'll not get any support for them.

Additionally, I'd be leery of doing business with a company who advertises support
on their website (see "http://portaone.com/products/portabilling/pb100/" - they advertise
full support of Asterisk with the phrase:

 "Full prepaid and postpaid billing support for Cisco, Quintum, open source Asterisk, Mera MVTS"

However, here's the response I have from support:

Dear Mike,
This is our official position.

Anyone have any ideas of other AAA software which is capable of the same
features as Porta, but have a better support infrastructure?

Hope this helps anyone who has clients looking at purchasing this software.
I'd not even purchase it myself if there were other uses I would have for it -
if they falsely tout support for a softswitch they don't support, how many other
"mis-truths" are there?

If the PortaOne's Radius client for Asterisk is not compatible with the current stable release of Asterisk (1.2) is there other RADIUS VoIP VSA compatible client for Asterisk?
