I think the problem is with the modem bank not answering the pmwho query which
causes Radiator to hang waiting for a response. Because the telnet process is
stuck, the radius sockets don't get cleaned up and hence your problem. You will
have to find a more reliable NasType method that doesn't get stuck.
