It's a scale issue.  I wish I could tell you exactly where it will fail, but 
there are a lot of variables.  We've been able to get 3000 plus users, but that 
takes a powerful system, lots of RAM, and a LOT of work with Linux itself.

Can you expand on that a bit?

I mean obviously you you need other bits to make a complete solution 
(RADIUS/DNS/DHCP .... maybe some LDAP/Cert Authority/VPN). I would 
recommend Zeroshell or Untangle
for a pretty complete solution. You probably also want some routing 
capabilities and for that I would recommend Vyatta.

Is there anything lacking in the PPPoE/L2TP bits themselves on Linux? Do 
they not implement all the specs?
