I want to be able to dial-in to my server/firewall on >Bigpond Cable from around Sydney. You don't want radius. If i understand this correctly you have BPC connecting you to the net and you have a standard phone line with modem also hooked up to the computer. Radius can be used to authenticate users dialing into different access routers from a single authentication source within the network. It's something you might use if you were providing dialup network services (eg. an ISP) to others. what you probably want to do is maybe set up mgetty to allow remote access to your machine through the modem, and perhaps set up the ppp options to assign an ip from one of the private address ranges (like 192.168.*.*) so that you can establish a point to point session. there are various ways of getting the end result you are after, i suggest reading up on the howtos. -- Alexander Else http://cyberchrist.org -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
