So true... 8) since port 1645 was assigned to another service 1812 was
picked for RADIUS... Now if you're moving over to the 1812 a few things to
consider/remember

1) NAS must be able to do 1812 as Richard says.. IOW ComOS 3.8+
2) don't forget your /etc/services
3) don't forget to have your RADIUS server set to 1812
