OP:, how many clients do you plan on having access this system? How many modems do you expect to need? Old (but reliable) analog RAS devices are relatively inexpensive to purchase on eBay.

These devices then pass their RADIUS requests to pre-configured RADIUS servers, in which mine all run FreeBSD, FreeRADIUS and DialupAdmin. Steve
