(PM) Automatic outbound telnet

We have a couple users who want to do either PPP or connect directly
to a specific host using telnet. (Gotta figure out how to do this
before we switch everyone to our shiny new PM3.) Presently, when they
dial in to our Linux box, they get a login prompt, and then the
presence of PPP frames is automatically detected by mgetty.

I'm trying to do something similar with the PM3, but I can't quite
figure it out from the radius book. It sounds like there might need
to be separate usernames for the two types of connections; that's
fine.

Here's what I have now.

test Password = "test"
Service-Type = Login-User,
Login-IP-Host = 208.131.233.11,
Login-Service = Telnet

Here's what shows up in the log:

Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[16547]: radrecv: Request from host 208.131.233.4 code=1, id=71, length=62
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[16547]: User-Name = "test"
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[16547]: Password = "\350Ji\255\210\3215\267j8\023<3\300\375\177"
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[16547]: NAS-IP-Address = 208.131.233.4
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[16547]: NAS-Port = 99
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[16547]: Service-Type = Outbound-User
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[10514]: Sending Accept of id 71 to io.mixi.net (208.131.233.4)
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[10514]: Service-Type = Outbound-User
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[10514]: Login-IP-Host = 208.131.233.11
Jan 2 10:05:39 sol radius[10514]: Login-Service = Telnet

I've tried various combinations of Service-Type, port configuration,
etc. I'm not at my wit's end, exactly; I just don't know what to do.
I don't fully understand Service-Type and Login-Service; they seem to
conflict a little bit.

Can anyone who's done this offer any help?
