DONT CONNECT TO YOUR FIREWALL!!!

HAVE THE TERM SERVER DO IT AUTHENTICATION (pass radius or tacacs info to the 
firewall) AND THEN HAND THE CONNECTION TO THE FIREWALL AS IT IS THE TRUSTED 
HOST - NOT THE DISTANT END PC's.

netsec rule 101...
you can't rust anybody you dont know...
do not allow dialin behind the firewall.

pirahna..

p.s....

there will varying degrees of disagreement. but my opinion is my own as the 
opinions you'll hear in retort are from those folks also.
