Actually, it seems a lot of folks are starting to have success with
configurations like this, and they don't need to run radiusd and
multiply their accounting headaches as a result.

Admittedly, a portmaster is more plug-n-play (to an extent anyway)
just as a Cisco is more p-n-p as a router, but sometimes cost is
a consideration. :-)
