These are the radius settings (excluding idle timeout and maximum session
duration values) we use for our "Business PPP Account" (our normal "PPP
Account" is nothing more than PPP). It supports PPP as well as direct login
to a unix shell account (if they're using some terminal program to connect
instead of Dial-Up Networking or some other PPP connection):
Framed-Protocol: PPP
Login-Host: (IP address of unix server)
Login-Service: Rlogin

You'll need to make sure that the "/etc/hosts" file (I think that's the one)
on the unix machine has the IP address(es) of your PM3s or it'll prevent the
user from logging in.

In Emerald, you don't need to use the "Shell" field for this. It works off
of the Login and Password fields.
