Download the latest release of RADIUS from ftp.merit.edu.  We use
their version of RADIUS with our Computone IntelliServers running from
FreeBSD 2.1.0R.  All you should need to do is uncomment the lines in
the Makefile for the FreeBSD target (the variations are grouped by OS
so it's a breeze).

I tried the Livingston version of RADIUS, and I wasn't impressed with
it (for one thing, I could never get the accounting features to work).
MERIT's is much better, and I think even much more current.

Kowabunga!
