Merit RADIUS will do that, I think. ESVAnet RADIUS will also do that.
I'm sure William Bulley will be along in a minute to give you the URL for
Merit RADIUS <grin>. The ESVAnet RADIUS is at:

Er, that would appear to be a totally different problem. I don't see how
that relates to simultaneous sessions. You need something to
retroactively limit session times based on system load. We do something
like that (in a highly specialized way) here. A cron job runs every five
minutes and checks line usage by peeking at the termlog; if we're running
out of lines, employees get bumped off to make room for paying customers.
