I know - which is why I think it is important for you to go over the
manuals. They really help clear things up. Without understanding what
you are doing, you could easily open security holes, etc.
>- Do I need to set a default host? I have a Linux box which I can
Default hosts are only used for login users, not PPP users. And this
has nothing to do with authentication.

Port Type has nothing to do with the users table or RADIUS.
If you want PPP you want either Network (Dialin) or Network/Login (Dialin).
The first allows framed (SLIP/PPP) connects only, the latter also allows
shell logins. You also want ot turn Security on for the ports.
>- What type of Login Service (Telnet, Rlogin, Portmaster) do I want for

PPP users don't have a Login Service. This is for shell users only.

Probably. If the modem is not sync'd to the port speed on the PM, you
will not connect.

We do not intialize the modems at all by default. Where do you see it
doing ATZ?

Wrong assumption - sounds more like the modems are not sync'd in speed with
the PM, so it is trashing all of the data being passed.
