[pptp-server] RADIUS server support

James,

The Microsoft Internet Authentication Server (IAS) supports MS-CHAP v1 and
v2. I also believe that Funk Software's Steel Belted Radius supports MS-CHAP
v1.

Our company (Acotec) is working on a Java-based RADIUS server/proxy that we
plan to add MS-CHAP authentication. One of the benefits of having RADIUS
support for the PPTP server is that you can add other kinds of
authentication packages. For example, we've added support for RSA's SecurID
for PPTP, so that only user with a valid SecurID token will be allowed
access.

Thanks for the info.

								Ken
