(ASCEND) RADIUS Replacement

IDEA has developed R-home(tm) - for "Reach Home," available in compiled 
binaries or source, a free drop in replacement for RADIUS.

See: http://www.auidea.org/ftprhome.html AND specifically 
http://www.auidea.org/dwnld.html

R-home(tm) has: 

       support of threads 
       cleaner code base 
       the same code base for Unix (SunOS, OSF, Linux) and NT 
       IDEA Network(tm) roaming/wholesale-exchange built into code 

Threading the code, for those operating systems that support threading, 
significately improves the performance and reliability of the R-home(tm) 
server. 

The code was rewritten as threaded code (forking is also available for 
those systems which cannot handle threading), and will do remote 
encrypted authentication
(using Public/Private key encryption rather than Kerberos), which is 
essential for our R-home(tm) service. The code is available with all the 
above capabilities for LINUX, NT, Solaris, HP UX, DEC OSF, AIX, IRIX and 
BSDI. That covers most  all the operating systems which would be serving 
the RADIUS application. Any others that have a demand can be provided 
when needed also. Finally, 
IDEA added some functionality to the code that RADIUSD did not provide, 
mostly dealing with the R-home(tm) application, but useful in other ways 
also.

In addition to releasing our R-Home authentication and accounting 
server for general beta test, we are conducting a limited beta test
in which we will work closely with IDEA members and others in testing one 
or more distributions of our R-Home authentication/accounting server. 
The objective of this limited beta test is to acquire quality test 
feedback in an expedient manner.  We current have R-home running on 
Ascend and other NAS products. In return for your cooperation, we 
would waive any applicable IDEA setup fee.
