(RADIATOR) Authenticating MS l2tp/clients on a cisco VPN server

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Bob -

You sound like a man after my own heart!

Yes you can keep running Radiator, but what are you going to use as  
client devices? And what are you going to use as client software?

We have many customers using SecureW2 on Windows as an 802.1x  
supplicant:

If you can give us a bit more information we will be able to make  
more suggestions.

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
