FW: radius option for nt raras

Greetings...

Below is a resopnse from Microsoft regarding RARAS and Radius. I would
appreciate a succinct technical reply as to what is needed to make MS's
Radius client report the parameters that RadiusNT needs to do
accounting. I'd be pleased to pass the info on to MS.

Regards,

Bruno
