Any help will be greatly appriciated. I had this same problem with my Total Control NetServer card (its a Portmaster) I just added a bit of code to RADIUS that checks for a service prefix (S for SL/IP and P fro PPP) before authenticating a user. So my users could enter Psomeuser for PPP Ssomeuser for SLIP and just someuser for access to their unix shell. I believe that RADIUS may support some sort of menus but I haven't been able to get anything working. Email me for more info if you want. -- []-----------------------------------------------------------------------[] | Matthew N.
