What I did was to merge the Livingston and Ascend dictionaries...
they have different names for some of the attributes. The Ascend
version uses User-Service, for example. The accounting now works fine
for the Ascend via the Livingston server, but I haven't figured out how
to set up the user file for ISDN users.
So I haven't figured it out yet either, but since you can change the
RADIUS Authentication and Accounting port numbers on the P400 (I have two)
you could run the Ascend version on another port until you figure out how
to integrate them.
The next version of the Merit distribution will support the
Ascend attributes as well, according to one of the authors.
