  That equipment is garbage.  The RADIUS protocol has *always* used two
ports.

  Yeah, that won't work.

  FreeRADIUS doesn't support this, but it might not be hard.  I just
don't see the point.  It's a rare situation to deal with broken legacy
equipment.

  You could hack the server source to allow it (src/main/listen.c).  But
honestly, that equipment is probably 20 years old, and never worked
right in the first place.
