It ought too. It may not be as efficient at points, and you might have to
tweak the dictionary to get it right. There haven't been any substantial
changes in the RADIUS protocol though. All it has to do is form
appropriate RADIUS requests, send them to the RADIUS server, and wait for
a response to decode. RADIUS 2.0's changes seem to be optimizations and
support for fancier work with the users file and menus. When it gets down
to talking to a client, though, its all the same.
