(ASCEND) Max 2000, 7.0.4, Call Refused

[Ray Davis <ray@carpe.net>]

I'm getting nowhere with support@ascend.com anymore, so maybe someone
on the list can help...

We have a Max 2000 (S/N: 7171098) which has been running fine for
a couple years under 5.0Ap36.  No analog modems - just ISDN.  Via
radius it was configured to authenticate users via call-id or via
pap/chap.  i.e. If the call came in with an isdn call-id and there
was a corresponding entry in the radius users file then the call
was authenticated.  If the isdn call-id was unknown or if there
was no call-id then pap/chap was accepted.  Perfect!

Then we installed a couple of 8 modem cards (MX-SL-8MOD-S56) and,
of course, had to finally upgrade the software.  We upgraded to
7.0.4 (using reik.m20 and feik.m20).  Now call-id is being handled
differently and we haven't been able to figure out how to fix it.

Now if a call comes in with a call-id and the radius users file
knows this call-id, the call is authenticated as expected.  But if
a call comes in with an unknown call-id, the call is immediately
rejected (call refused) and the caller is not given the
opportunity to authenticate with pap/chap.  Only if the call has
no call-id is pap/chap allowed.

Under Ethernet/Answer these are set:
    Use Answer as Default=Yes
	Profile Reqd=Yes
	Id Auth=Prefer

Thanks,
Ray
