The same thing goes with RedHat Linux 5.0 on a DEC Alpha board.
Their free Ascend radius version works fine on the Intel boards but fails
on the Alpha. The Livingston does no better, just a differently worded
error for the same thing. Then you come to their pricy Access Control
software and they don't even have a version for any Alpha board accept for
Digital UNIX OSF. I don't know about you but 2-3K for a 5 user license is
not the OS I'm gonna recommend. But that's exactly what TAC was telling
me, Buy a new machine or get another OS.
