Sure, VPN = Virtual Private Network. But it depends on what you exactly
want to do, which is suitable for you. Both do their job well, why don't
you like ssh?

BOTH are AAA (= Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) Solutions.

RADIUS in difference to TACACS+:

+ widely used

o Interoperability is possible, but not guaranteed -> proprietary
implementations, M$ Radius is not 3COM Radius, for example!

- using UDP -> not reliable
- only the password is encrypted, the rest is plain text
- the following protocols are not supported:
   ~ AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA)
   ~ NetBIOS Frame Protocol Control Protocol
   ~ Novell Asynch. Services Interface (NASI)
   ~ X.25 PAD connection
- it is not usable for router and switch management as TACACS+ is, due
to the available commands / options.

TACACS+ is an extension of the old TACACS standard which is quite lost
due to license things.
TACACS+ in difference to RADIUS:

- almost only on Cisco components

+ using TCP -> reliable
+ everything but the header is encrypted
+ Multiprotocol-support
+ difficile access rules for cisco components are definable
+ build modular

Again, it depends on what exactly you want to do with it for what is
better for you.
