Ahh the joys of what happens when a large company blatantly ignores
the RFC and does their own thing.
Attribute 80 is Message-Authenticator. Ascend way back in the day
drank some braincell killing koolaid and decided they didn't have
to follow the RFC and put their attributes into a VSA, but could just
start using the remaining unused ( but RESERVED! ) attributes.
Probably need to implement a flag for ascend clients running in "OLD"
mode, so that they don't have problems authenticating.
*sigh*
Anyone know who at Ascend made that call way back in the day?
