Portslave was solely designed for getty type work. In response to requests I
wrote a very brief document giving tips on getting it to work in pppoe type
scenarios. People are using it like that, although most people who wanted to
do that found it too difficult and used another solution.

I've already started work on CHAP using libradius1, which is also what the
PPP CVS code uses.

I am going to eat the code that's in the PPP CVS. When I have every feature
of that code and more I may put Portslave in the PPP CVS. I think we only
need one PPP/RADIUS solution, I've spent the last two years hunting down
other options and incorporating all their features...
