Thank you Adria,

I was able to use the pppoe-server binary from the pppoe package to
listen for and respond to discovery packets. I'm using the radius ppp
module to delegate authentication to FreeRADIUS. This is all working
well for me. I plan to spend a little time hooking up an LDAP server so
that I don't have to edit /etc/freeradius/users file every time I get a
new subscriber.

Perhaps I'll write a perl web front end to managing subscribers with
LDAP...

Cheers,

C.J.

MySQL is the most common FreeRADIUS backend. Also, search for "dialupadmin".
