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.
