Well I don't know who to send this on to. Emerald or RADIUS so I did sent
to both. Sorry

The other day I did a setup on a new portable. I typed in an incorrect IP
address for the portable, and tried to log on. I do not remember weather I
got on that day under Win95 or not. At the same time I did a setup in NT4
section and everything went ok. (Used the correct IP address ;-)
Since the I have been getting false online in the Calls-on-line in
Emerald. It was stopping me from logging on. Emerald had me online twice,
which is the set limit for my account. I Phantom logins would disappear as
someone would log on to that port(s). (20111 and 20118)
I have found that the Ascend Max 4000 keeps sending start packets, which
are ok'ed my RADIUSNT. Sent to Emerald and put in call-on-line till they
get bumped off.
It seams that the Ascend box does not handle the ack or something. It
just keep sending the start records. Below are some examples of the -x15
output from RADIUS. I also looked thru the DETAIL log and the originals
have stop records but all after the original do not.
I don't have problems getting around this problem, BUT if someone else
does it all hell could break loose. Will this time out?
