Radius setup, was fairly simple, except for the fact that it does not not pay any attention to the framed access type. This means that if you type in your username and password at the login prompt, you get a command prompt on the cisco, when you are supposed to for instance have a PPP session starting. This can be avioded if you set the lines to auto execute PPP ( the solution we used), but then you can not use those dialing lines for anything other than PPP. If you set it up to autodetect PPP and use PAP or CHAP authentication, such connections work fine with or with out the line configured to auto execute PPP. Tim.
