If everything is running from one box and it will always be that way, RADIUS is probably overkill. However if you are using a TC or Livingston box to handle modem communications, you will need RADIUS running on your server so the modems know how to authenticate and account for modem users, assign IP's, etc. Like I mentioned in another email, I use gnu-radius server on my network for modems to authenticate against and it works quite well. There are a few different ones you can run however, depending on your tastes. -rf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
