We haven't had any problems with the TC authenticating with Ascend's RADIUS. Here's one radius entry (mine): willp Password = "UNIX" User-Service-Type = Framed-User, Framed-Protocol = PPP, Framed-Routing = None, Framed-Netmask = 255.255.255.255, Framed-MTU = 1500 I can't say that we've made any progress with getting the TC to send proper accounting packets. I'm sure it's possible-- but this list really isn't the place for it. I know that ComOS is sometimes picky on 'special' characters in passwords. A dollar sign in particular makes either ComOS or the livingston utilities fail to authenticate. Probably fixed in some new beta whatever- but you might want to look at that. All I can say about 5.0Ai13 is that it is finally _fantastic_ to see connection rates (users' downstream) in there. It wasn't made clear that 5.0Ai13 reports connection rate reporting for both upstream and downstream _not_ only via Radius, but via SNMP queries as well. It's very, very handy. Now to ascend: I like the Finger support in 5.0Ai13, but on a max 4004 we have- it responded to finger requests just fine for a while, and then stopped. It answers the port, but sends no data. Not that it's at all critical for us- we use SNMP and radius together to effectively monitor and log, but just so you know. -Will -- Will Pierce System Administrator Dreamscape Online, LLC. willp@dreamscape.com On Sun, 15 Jun 1997, Robert A.
