If you are using a Livingston 1.16 based daemon, it doesn't do the
accounting auth for the Ascend, which causes the Ascends to continually
send accounting until its all messed up. In RadiusNT 2.2, it will
always
send the accounting auth to the NAS, and you can configure it whether
to require the accounting auth from the NAS. Turning the later off
allow all vendors to work without the accounting nightmares. :)
