This new version supports UDP.

Here's what they have in the release notes text file, but the send and
expect strings don't make much sense to me:

User Defined Services Examples:

Radius:
Port: 1645 UDP
Send on connect:
"\aD\@,0123456789012345\a\fTEST\b%18abcdefghijklmnop"
Expect after: "\cD\@"
Notes: ensure that the monitoring workstation has authorization to
to submit requests to the radius server. the shared secret
is not necessary information for WhatsUp Gold.

I guess this just checks to see if the radius service responds at all.
I was wondering is it possible to have it authenticate a test user, I
guess you'd have to encrypt for your secret though to do this.
