Uhm, hmm, this maybe should be on the Radius list, but *shrug* it's also
an issue as the PMx itself needs to support the protocol, so I'll just
post here, btw, please make the subject line descriptive.

RFC's for you to peruse:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2548.html
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2433.html

;) STFW

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/ is a wonderful location...

After a quick glance through rfc2548 seems like M$ is making something
pretty useless with additional specs (check out BAP) that at first glance
seem to be M$-centric. Oh, and MS-CHAP v2 isn't backwards compatible with
v1 or something to effect hehe... I wonder if it's y2k compliant ;)
