client device. In my experience there are almostno client devices thatactually display the "Reply-Message", but asalways YMMV. It seems to me this would be something best reservedfor the radius server, not the end-user to track.To my opion, if customer's PC could show the exact reason for dial-up error, CSR could deal with customercomplaint easily.
No it would be a security vulnerability of type information disclosure. It would also be impossible to have it fit everyones needs.For easy CSR, have them punch the customer ID into a system linked to the authentication servers logs.
You can never base your troubleshooting on what the customer tells you, anyways.
As most of customer use microsoft windowsxx, could itbe possible to display "replay-message" on it? or if we develop a standalone PPPoE software, could itbe possible to display it?
Havent heard of any such way. I dont think you actually want to develop such software, but if you do please reference winpoet and raspppoe.
You are much better off requiring customers to use residential dsl equipment, better yet, equipment YOU provision and sell them. Support requirements go way down afterwards.
Having them dial from their computers is not a great concept.
