Sounds like a DNS problem. Either your Portmaster or RADIUS is probably
going out the T1 to resolve reverse DNS for the connection. Certainly,
the Linux machine will take a long time (3 minutes) to accept a telnet
session when it can't do reverse IP.

Most Linux boxes have gettys running on the first 6 console screens and
use the seventh for X Windows. So you can use number 8 to monitor
radiusd. Change the radiusd startup as follows:
/etc/radiusd -x >/dev/tty8 2>&1
And then you can do Alt-F8 to monitor activity. This will tell you if the
RADIUS server is getting the queries and if it is acknowledging them.
