What is the RHEL/Centos way of doing this? As I recall the Cistron sources still build on centos-4, but freeRadius is the future, and also builds on centos. I do not know the patches you are thinking of to the pppd; I assume we are talking about a multiport serial card to be worth the effort? More details are needed, but it should all still work just as it did on RHL7. I am probably the last subscriber still on the RH PPP list, and at one time published a patch for an option back in the RHL days which fixed a broken RH option in the PPPD package for Windows unit support. Ask with specific questions if you hit a hard spot -- I still have two dialup ISP clients running local modem pools. - Russ Herrold
