That (updating my dictionary) was my first guess. However, take Ascend-Data-Rate (AttributeId = 197) for example.I looked in the "dictionary.usr" that you emailed me last week, and there is no Attribute in it with id=197 (or its hex equivalent, C5). So that means one of several things: 1) The dictionary you sent me was not the latest; 2) I am misreading the dictionary, somehow; 3) The dictionary is not the problem. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong here? Dave On Friday, February 25, 2000 2:54 PM, pferraro@wna-linknet.com [SMTP:pferraro@wna-linknet.com] wrote:

I am receiving accounting attributes such as:

Ascend-PreSession-Time = 25 Ascend-Data-Rate = 44000 Ascend-Pre-Input-Octets = 139 Ascend-Pre-Output-Octets = 145 Ascend-Disconnect-Cause = 45 Ascend-Connect-Progress = 67

from a 100%, true-blue USR NAS. Why is that?

Also, is there a difference between Ascend-Data-Rate (AttributeId =

======================================================================== ====== 197)

...

and USR-Connect-Speed (AttributeId = 36899), also known as Connect-Rate? If so, what's the difference, and why is my NAS not producing a USR-Connect-Speed attribute?

Finally, (thanks for bearing with me!), I have a lot of:

Vendor-Specific = ""

attributes in my accounting data. Are these related to a dictionary problem? If so, how do I know which attributes they're referring to so that I can fix my dictionary?

Thanks very much in advance!
