I seem to be getting several errors from my TNT that I hope
someone else out there has figured out how to fix.

I am getting several Backoff Q full.  The strange thing is
that they are all with username NULL:

...
Jul  7 06:42:39 tnt1 1/4: Backoff Q full, discarding user <NULL>[264556057]
Jul  7 06:42:51 tnt1 1/4: Backoff Q full, discarding user <NULL>[264556063]
Jul  7 06:43:39 tnt1 1/4: Backoff Q full, discarding user <NULL>[264556060]
Jul  7 06:54:17 tnt1 1/4: Backoff Q full, discarding user <NULL>[264556058]
Jul  7 06:54:21 tnt1 1/4: Backoff Q full, discarding user <NULL>[264556056]
Jul  7 06:54:39 tnt1 1/4: Backoff Q full, discarding user <NULL>[264556065]
Jul  7 06:54:53 tnt1 1/4: Backoff Q full, discarding user <NULL>[264556064]
...

This goes on for quite some time and then is seems that I get this entry
in my fatal-history:

   FATAL ERROR:  Index:   1  Revision: 7.2.0  Slot 1/16 (tntenet)
        Date: 07/07/2000.       Time: 08:18:31
        Location: 1002cf5c 1003cf4c 1003d460 1000dc44 1000ed90 00000000

I am also getting a lot of Radius client timeouts:

Jul  7 06:42:13 tnt1 1/4: Radius client timeout (code=1) for user xxxxxx
Jul  7 06:42:27 tnt1 1/4: Radius client timeout (code=1) for user xxxxxxxx
Jul  7 06:42:37 tnt1 1/4: Radius client timeout (code=1) for user xxxxx
Jul  7 06:42:39 tnt1 1/4: Radius client timeout (code=1) for user xxxxxx
Jul  7 06:42:50 tnt1 1/4: Radius client timeout (code=1) for user xxxxxxxx
Jul  7 06:43:38 tnt1 1/4: Radius client timeout (code=1) for user xxxx

I have my Radius information set to the old style Ascend Radius, not VSA.
My auth-timeout is set to 10, I have tried bigger and smaller and have the
same problem.

It seems that this problem always starts as I hit about 290 sessions.  Once
the fatal happens, the TNT stops responding for a few seconds, and attempts
to reload it's information from RADIUS.  Then once it comes back alive
(it does not actually go down), everything is good until the next night.

Right now I'm thinking about upgrading to TAOS 8.0.2.  However, I see they
have dropped support for the tnt-ethernet1 card.  Is there a way to tell
which model you have without pulling it out?

Lastly, is there any huge advantage to using a separate Ethernet card
instead
of the built in Ethernet port?

TIA!
