I don't deal with DUN on a regular basis anymore, but as I recall, if you
specifiy the IP, there's also a place to put the netmask.

I tell my users NOT to put anything in for the IP address... leave "Server
assigned IP address" checked, and log in as usual. RADIUS passes the IP to
the Portmaster, which then passes it to Win95 just as if the user were
assigned a dynamic IP.

Simply put, the user shouldn't have to do anything - you create the RADIUS
entry for them (as Don noted, 255.255.255.255 for the Framed-IP-Netmask
most of the time), then they login, and all is right with the world
(assuming that the machine was working well with a dynamic IP)

Incidentally, the same is true with the Cisco 2511 using RADIUS (I have a
mix of 2511s and PM3s around the network - gradually replacing 2511s with
PM3s).
