You can set them up as a dial back user in radius:

http://www.livingston.com/tech/docs/radius/UserInfo.fm.html

Callback-Login-User
The PortMaster verifies the user's identity by disconnecting the port and
dialing the user back at a specified number. The user's identity must be
verified before the connection is permitted.

Callback-Framed-User
The PortMaster verifies the user's identity by disconnecting the port and
dialing the user back using a specified Location Table entry. When the
user's identity is verified, PPP or SLIP is used for the connection.

http://www.livingston.com/tech/docs/radius/UserInfo.fm.html#997058

Callback Information
For a user to be authenticated using callback, a phone number or location
must be specified in the user's entry.

Callback-Login-User
When a user's Service-Type is Callback-Login-User, specify a phone number
using the Callback-Number reply item. An example is displayed below.

bob Password = "ge55gep"
Service-Type = Callback-Login-User,
Callback-Number = "9,1-800-555-1212"

After the RADIUS server verifies the password for user bob, it sends an
access-accept message including the Callback-Number to the PortMaster. The
PortMaster calls the user back at the specified number; if the user is
reached successfully, the PortMaster prompts the user to reenter his
password and then sets up the connection.

Callback-Framed-User
When a user's service type is Callback-Framed-User, you must specify a
location using the Callback-Id setting. An example is displayed below.

bob Password = "ge55gep"
Service-Type = Callback-Framed-User,
Callback-Id = "bobhome"

After the RADIUS server verifies the password for user bob, it sends an
access-accept message including the Callback-Id to the PortMaster. The
PortMaster checks its local Location Table; if there is a matching
location name, it makes the connection using that location's settings.

Note To create Location Table entries, see the information on configuring
dial-out locations in the Configuration Guide for PortMaster Products.
