Yeah, the POP has ~42ms ping rates (2 hops away) to it while the local
ones have ~0.7ms.. How would I slow it down so it doesn't give up so
quickly?

I just downloaded the Radius 2.0 source code and compiled it and got the
same results as the precompiled binary.

Ergh, I ran into this problem before after switching to Radius 2.0 once
before and had to switch back to 1.16, I can't do that right now. Does
anyone have any ideas??

Thanx..
