All correct Peter. It is passed in the first request. If you want it
to be a check item, you should be able to add it to the user's Radius
entry on the same line as the user name and password:
username Password = "UNIX", Ascend-Third-Prompt = "not-so-secret-password'
...
This should work with the Merit server. If you want to do more
interesting things with it, then the source is your only hope.
