Seems the Ascend Radius damon works well with USR but > not with Ascend. Silly question: Are you sure it's the radius? The "Verifying username and password" is pretty bogus -- it can mean lots of things, including that fact that your customer may be having a hard time synching with your MAX. My guess is that it's a modem compatibility problem and has nothing to do with radius. I've never used the TC boxes before. I've heard bad things about them (like the lack of OSPF), but one nice thing I've heard about them is that the modems are *rock solid*. Seems like everyone with can connect to them. --Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
