Once upon a time Jesse Martinez shaped the electrons to say...

This is just wrong. Please let me know who said this - not only is it
wrong, it is dangerous advice.

This is not valid for Livingston. An entry must be shell OR PPP. NOT
both. In fact, I don't think that is technically a valid RADIUS entry.
Ascend has done a lot of extensions.

And the Ascend-Idle-Limit is an Ascend attribute that doesn't work with
Livingston. I don't believe Ascend supports the standard RFC attrib
for the same thing (we do).
