(RADIATOR) service-type=call-check question.

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Griff -

Can you explain to me what a Service-Type = Call-Check is? And in what 
circumstance your NAS generates it? 

My reading of the RFC tells me that this should correspond to a 
"Pre-Authentication" request that the NAS sends before answering the call, 
and in which the Calling-Station-Id is sent as the User-Name. An 
Access-Accept in reply should tell the NAS to answer the call.

Is this what you are trying to do?

thanks

Hugh
