(RADIATOR) Accounting-Response - While we're on the topic...

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Brian -

Radiator will normally send an Accounting-Response for every 
Accounting-Request received from the NAS. You can check pretty easily 
by looking at a trace 4 debug from Radiator and verifying the 
requests received and the replies sent.

regards

Hugh
