In my opinion, the 4.xx Netserver/I code sucks. We use a lot of
Netserver/16s and have never had a particularly happy experience with the
non ComOS-derived
code from USR.

You should be able to "downgrade" the Netserver 8/I to 3.2 series code by
using the yucky DOS program that USR has for this purpose. I know that we
had success downgrading a box we had experimented with the new code on
using this mechanism.

As far as problems with Livingston RADIUS, we don't use it, so I can't
really comment. The problems we had did not relate to RADIUS.

Good luck,

Jordyn
