RADIUS is also the standard authentication protocol for ISP's and will be
a required protocol for ISP's who wish to participate in ROAMing
consortiums. If you are going to build a pppgetty it would be OK to
have RADIUS authentication optional but it would be bad to leave it out
entirely.

Linux already has two variations of a hacked login supporting RADIUS
and PPP. There is also a linux version of pppd that has been hacked to
replace login.
