I am using the following Radius defaults in emerald admin:

User-Service=Framed-User,
Framed-Protocol=PPP

this is the same as has been used in the users file.
The IP's are being assigned from a dynamic IP pool.

The dial in connections are not customers at this point as of yet. This
is a mock up test before we impliment the Emerald database for our
dial-up customers.
