I'm not sure if we can discuss mgetty in the freeradius-users list, but
just to correct your answer I will say that mgetty can recognize different
types of the calls like voice, fax, so called AutoPPP, FIDO, UUCP (with
prefix in username)  and "normal" terminal emulation (character based
call). Mgetty then "dispatch" appropriate handler, one of them is
/bin/login.

So if there is pppd for Linux which can talk to (free)RADIUS it could
be possible to have mgetty to differentiate call type and if it detects
AutoPPP it can then dispatch RADIUS "enabled" pppd.

Portslave is the "real solution", but we all know that already :-).
