Well, you won't be able to use ACP/ERCPD with a PortMaster - obviously.

If you get a newer release of Annex software (13.x I think) it can proxy
to RADIUS via ERPCD. I would setup RADIUS to handle the PortMaster duties
and then configure the Annex to proxy to it via ERPCD and move all of your
security over to RADIUS.

I understand they will be adding RADIUS abilities directly to the Annex
eventually, to remove ERPCD from the picture.
