[c-nsp] Lightweight Radius Server for small installation and Windows

[Thomas Braun]

Hi,

i use freeradius for the same installation on linux.
There is also a windows port of freeradius, it needs cygwin.
I haven't used it under windows, but under Linux you can do anything you 
want.

Maybe you give it a try.
Regards
thomas
