(RADIATOR) hardware radius proxy

[Jeremy Burton]

Yeah, I'd second that suggestion. I've installed perl on m0n0wall and it
seemed to work quite well. Haven't tried anything like Radiator on it, but
it was able to do various other perl-like things with it.

The install I've got is on a 96Mb CF card. There's still some spare space,
couple that with the price of CF these days, and getting a larger CF would
give you the functionality you're after with a nice price tag.
