If you don't find any connection attempts information then it means
that dialupadmin isn't initiating a connection due to one of the reasons
I have mentioned before or something else. We've been exchanging
so many emails so far and you haven't checked what I've told you to.

I can't help you more with dialupadmin as I am not aware of its
common configuration issues, if daloradius is an appropriate
alternative for you I will be happy to assist you with it.

Liran Tal.
