Lineo has extended the SecureEdge VPN Router, a platform
for OEMs to rapidly produce powerful and secure Internet
appliances, with the addition of RADIUS and TACACS+.

“All of the ColdFire Family and x86 variants of the SecureEdge,
using the popular uClinux operating system, now support the RADIUS
and TACACS+ protocols. These are the two most widely used
protocols, particularly by ISPs, for providing centralized AAA
(authentication, authorization, and accounting). Adding this
support involved creating two plug-ins for pppd; thus, anything
using pppd can use RADIUS and TACACS+ such as Lineo’s PoPToP PPTP
and PPP dial-in.”
