Radius Server software

[Outlook Repair Boy]

Has anyone used Lucid Links software to handle the role of
Radius server on a wireless XP network?

No.
However, have you looked into Internet Authentication Server? Its a
component of Windows 2000/2003 that allows a windows server to act as a
radius server with active directory as the authentication mechanism. We use
it for our Cisco PIX 515 and clients with the Cisco VPN client are forced to
enter their AD username & password or they get denied access & the Cisco VPN
tunnel closes.

As previously mentioned, IAS will work for you and is designed to handle
wireless, VPN, LAN (802.1x) and dial up authentcation. It will work if you
have Active Directory in your network, or, there is an SDK that has samples
for anyone to write a plug in to grab credentials out of a DB. It will also
work against the local SAM (Security Accounts Manager) which is a common
scenario for small businesses.

IAS is an optional component on Windows Server and can be installed vai the
add/remove programs applet in the control panel.

Thanks,
