The RADIUS server source is free of charge ( on ftp.livingston.com 
:/pub/livingston/radius), the clients software however not as I think 
they expect you to use their terminal servers.

I have however hacked together some radius client software for Unix and 
it works great. If the demand is big enough I'll clean up the code and 
try to put a nice package together.
