> I am new to this list but I have been watching it for 3 days. I have managed to overcome most of the difficulties, including making Radius work as a service, and modifying the MBR to make the State field 3 char for Australia, I can login and authenticate, I have changed the dictionary so record 4 and 32 won't clash.

I have watched Radius using -x15 debug and calls appear to be saved in the Emerald data base when I look at the tables I can even see records in the calls table with IP, name, time on in seconds etc. Any body got any suggestions.
Make sure #4 is "NAS-Identifier" in your RadAttributes table, NOT
#32. I usually name #32 "NAS-ID2".
On a technical note Calls.NASIdentifier must match an entry in
Servers.IPAddress or callsonline will not work.

Thats a client preference issue. PPP will negotiate PAP or CHAP.
RadiusNT should handle both fine. You should be able to confgiure
your USR to allow both, or one of those.

Actually its not that much different than any other NAS. The only
issue I know of is the double NAS-Identifier problem noted above.

Internation Date formats are a known issue that we are addressing
in the next release.
