What else is running on it? Our primary radius server is also running SQL
Server 6.5, IIS 2.0 (with about 50 virtual web sites), secondary dns for
over 100 domains, on a P100 w/64MB RAM. According to my performance monitor
logs, Radius uses .0014% of the CPU's processing time. The memory used is
about 2MB. Very minimal. If you have a reliable NT Server that is always
on, you should be able to run RadiusNT on it with little fuss.

Use the latest version ComOS 3.3.2c1 and get the latest dictionary file. 1.
Watch you syntax when entering users 2. Double check your syntax. If a user
has a problem loggin in, go back to step 1. Good luck! :)
