Re: (ASCEND) radius menus without ascend-menu-item (fwd)
Once upon a time Tim Basher shaped the electrons to say...

I think what he meant is that other NASes - notably the PM-3 - support
menuing with NO additional attributes. The RADIUS server sends the menu
back using RFC Reply-Message attributes in an RFC Access-Challenge reply.
No VSAs or other proprietary crap needed, the RFC has everything you need
to build a menu. Lucent RADIUS has had the ability to do menus thusly for
a while now.
I've seen reports that this also works with other RFC compliant NASes,
I believe Cisco was one of them.
