I don't know of any, but as more gear starts to support PoD / CoA /
Disconnect-Message / whatever, I'm sure they'll crop up.  Mark my words, the
Atlanta Scientific Tanning Salons and Wireless Switches latest model
TanNSurf-5000 will implement TanNSurf-Disconnect-Key at some point.

I guess I just don't like contributing to the de-facto
standardizationificationism of vendor specific attributes.  And besides
which, XAscendSessionSvrKey is a biatch to type.  :)

Your call.  You (one of) Da Man.
