I must have, indeed. But in any case, at the time I found that portslave
was geared a lot towards the 'getty' side of things, and didn't support
CHAP, never mind MSCHAP with all its frills (not that I think those are
'better' than PAP, but that's what my client needed), so I decided that
hacking all that into it was more work than starting with
pppd+MSCHAP+MPPE and OpenRADIUS, which could also benefit from the
project.

Yes, it's a shame - three RADIUS clients for pppd now, with slightly
varying feature sets. Oh well, these things happen. The only advantage
my patch still has perhaps is that it's used in production now and
applies against a production pppd.
Cheers,
Emile.
