Might have better luck posting this to comp.dcom.sys.bay-networks.

I added it to my reply here.

Yup, I got it working. Thanks for the info.

I thought I would throw something else out here. The Radius
accounting/logging information is lacking with the BPS2k and BS5510. We
have a large Nortel WLAN implementation (Airespace) and the 802.1x
authentication information that system provides is a dream. The 2270WSS
switches not only provide user and time of auth, but also the end user's
MAC address. I have a feature request into the Nortel to add this
functionality into the BPS2k and BS5510 line, but I thought I would ask
you all if you had ideas as well. Thx.
