Hmm. Well, to be honest, I couldn't justify Radius in an OR/U, but in
having deployed OR/HS units as part of a frame relay WAN for a client, we've
found that with a modem hanging off the serial port, they make an excellent
NAS for one person at a time (i.e. an employee or three living in the remote
city). Dial-up access had never been part of the plan, but once someone
thought of it, it's been great. For $700, their fantastic boxes.
