They may be legacy, but they're also the defacto official
used-by-everybody-else ports.  I was contacted directly by Ascend
Communications over this, and they asked me, in effect: "What the hell
are you guys doing?  Those ports were never officially assigned, the
RFCs you're quoting are bogus, PLEASE move them back so that
everybody's radiuses will start working again!"

Given that I had just been bitten REALLY BADLY over this one when
installing iPASS Roaming Radius (which comes only in binary form for
FreeBSD) at a local ISP and finding that it was not at all happy with
3.2-RELEASE's new and useless port assignments of 1812/1813, I saw
considerable merit in Ascend's position on this and so I changed it.
If you can come up with a better explanation for the disparity, I'm
all ears.  For now, however, I'm going to take Ascend as a slightly
less impeachable authority than Rod Grimes and leave things as they
are.  Whomever switched them in the first place cost me about 5 hours
work in a cold machine room and I'm still a little annoyed about that!
