Yes. But it won't be that great of a test unless you have it installed
on a SQL Server and the RadiusNT is pointing to the local sql server.
As a side note, if you do NOT run RadiusNT on your SQL Server, 2.5.124
will re-connect 100% of the time when your SQL Server gets rebooted.
This is only an issue when they are on the same box (which isn't
something
that we recommend).
