(RADIATOR) SNMP, Simultaneous-Use and Redback SMS500

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Toomas -

You should check with Redback to see what is possible as far as querying 
the device is concerned, as well as what is recorded in the accounting 
requests (and the correspondence of course).

I have copied this mail to Onno Becker at Redback who may be able to 
help, as there are many of Onno's customers using Radiator already.

Please copy us on what you discover so we can add the correct NasType 
code.

regards

Hugh
