Any idea where in the Lucent/Ascend MAX unit software this watch dog setting is located for ?

To setup the NAS and VOP Radius to use the Watchdog/Interim packets:
- Consult the NAS manufacturer to confirm that it is possible. There
are hundreds of NAS
- manufacturers and it is not possible for use to list the exact configuration here.
- Set the Interval time that the Watchdog packet will be sent (e.g. once every 3 minutes)
- Confirm that VOP Radius is receiving the Watchdog packets. You can do this by using
- the VPRError.log and locating an Accounting Packet. The value of the Acct-Status-Type
- Attribute (40) will equal "Watchdog" and/or an integer value of 3.
- Open the VOP Radius Control Panel-->Clients Tab and select the Client definition for the NAS.
- On the bottom left there should be a setting called "Interval time between Interim packets [sec]"
- Enter a value here that is at least 3 times greater compared to what was set in the NAS (e.g. 9 minutes).
- The reason we set the Interval time greater in VOP Radius is because we do not want to prematurely
- remove the username from the Users Online Listing. Accounting Watchdog packets like Stop
- packets do go missing.
- manufacturers and it is not possible for use to list the exact configuration here.

I have a problem with VOPRadius in that sometimes it doesn't release users that have logged off meaning if the same user tries to logon, they get an " invalid username/password" error, and I get the " simultaneous login exceeded" in error logs.
