Auth setup is WAY freaky. Basically, it's possible (even easy) to lock
yourself out of the box if you screw up the radius config...sure, that's
much better than 'set authen blah'.

Also, you forgot to mention that it takes easily 10 times as long to boot
as a PM3, and that it doesn't do MCMP without an extra router to handle
that.
