This would be the way to set this up. Only, gnu-radius does not include  
reply attributes with a type number above 255 in the reply packet. If you
would give Slipstream-Auth type number 255 instead of 7000, the reply packet 
would contain the Slipstream-Auth attribute. However, this would not work of 
course, unless you have control over the dictionary you are using on the 
other side of the connection.

BTW: This is not a gnu-radius problem, but only gnu-radius being RFC compliant
(RFC 2138). Here's an excerpt from that RFC:

---------------------------8<-----------------------------------------
A summary of the Attribute format is shown below.  The fields are
transmitted from left to right.

    0                   1                   2
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
   |     Type      |    Length     |  Value ...
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

   Type
---------------------------8<-----------------------------------------

The Type field is one octet, so it cannot possibly contain a value above 255.
