I take it my portings here haven't been adequate... :-)

The setup we use relies upon the PortMaster prompting for the "host:"
first, then the "login:" and "password:"

You set this up using "set sXX host prompt" or "set all host prompt"
I believe, but I could have the wrong syntax...

As long as the NAS sends the Service-Type "hint" to RADIUS, the stuff
in Merit RADIUS (protocol_check() routine) and in our users file (see
the commentary near the end of the users file) does what you want. I
think! The user is "given" whatever protocol he/she dials in with...
