Excellent, I'm glad you've made it work!

Making userland ppp authenticate against a RADIUS server doesn't seem to be
in the handbook, but it's documented in 'man ppp'. Just search for the word
'radius' (try hitting slash, entering 'radius', and hit enter. Hit 'n' to
get the next match)

Again, if you need to debug this, then looking at logs at the radius server
end, and looking at the traffic between the pppoe server and the radius
server using tcpdump, will most likely be helpful.

    # tcpdump -i fxp0 -n -s1500 udp port 1812 or udp port 1813
