[other questions deleted] I think you have things a little backwards. Only the terminal server and radius server need to understand Radius. The workstations don't. Run radiusd on a FreeBSD box which has an ethernet connection to the PM, or just define users in the PM itself. It depends on how many users you want to authenticate. Most cafes I know of charge by the 1/2 hour and it does not matter who is using the terminal. Yes, you do need a single password file, unless you can define alternate radius servers in the PM, so you can have redundancy or two password files with different admins. The win95 box will just use standard PAP authentication. Danny
