Hi all,

        I am trying to look at the pros and cons of running a bank of dialup modems
with the Cisco radius authentication vs. VPN setups in conjunction with our
firewall. My thought is that it may be best to run a combination of both.
What are the security implications? Should they be viewed as mutually
exclusive? What is happening in the real world?

        Any comments, views, or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary
