Ethereal works pretty good with decoding VSA'a(26). I work with Ericsson routers and we often decode other vendors packets(nortel, lucent, cisco) to see how they treat certain circumstances.

Hmmm, I've got a modified ( read custom-hacked ) tcpdump that is
radius aware. It's only undertands the standard attributes ( no
VSA's ), though.
It needs a lot of cleaning up as it's kind of kludgy, but it works.
It actually wasn't that hard to do, so maybe you could do it yourself,
or someone else could. I'd offer mine, but the code isn't good enough,
and I don't have the time to properly support it. :(
