how do you authenticate the user that dials into the TA128? From the doc, it seems like it has builtin passwd for 40 users.. and auto start the build-in ppp or mppp.. what I am confused about is.. with Portslave, I would like to authenticate the user via RADIUS and start ppp. If the TA handles the ppp via build-in software.. do you still need to start pppd on the LInux box?
