If whatever device is terminating the PPTP tunnels can be configured to 
authenticate through radius, then yes, Radiator can handle the radius 
requests. 

Is Radiator going to be running on NT? If so, you will need to install 
ActivePerl plus whatever additional modules you require from ActiveState 
(www.activestate.com).

The Radiator configuration file will need a Client clause for the PPTP 
termination device and you will also have to define whatever Realms or 
Handlers and whatever AuthBy methods you want to use.

There is an extensively documented example configuration file in the Radiator 
distribution in the file "radius.cfg".

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Hugh
