Once upon a time Jerry Bacon shaped the electrons to say...

Use 'set user-netmask on'. That enables true CIDR/VLSM. Leaving it off and
forcing it with a route entry is a kludge.

>Framed-Route = "2xx.1xx.1xx.241/29 2xx.1xx.1xx.241 1"

Both will work, but this isn't as clean as just using the correct IP and
netmask. I discourage this use now that netmasks are usable.

>Also, is there any difference between Framed-IP-Address and Framed-Address
>(or for that matter Framed-IP-Route and Framed-Route)?

Yes - the ones with out 'IP' are outdated. They are only kept in the
dictionary for backwards compatibility, and will probably go away. It was
done for clarity, that this is an IP related field. Since RADIUS handles
IP, IPX, LAT, Appletalk, etc.
