Yes, it's a rocketmodem/port multi card.

For the record I ended up downloading the source for ppp 2.4.4 which now
includes a radius plugin. So at least there is no patching required (the
patch is still out there, but I think it's for 2.4.1). It would be nice
to have someone maintain an RPM in a reputable repo for it, but I really
wonder how much need there is for this particular configuration.
It would be interesting to find out what if anything others are doing to
provide dialin services with CentOS. With broadband getting cheaper and
hot-spots becoming more accessible we find far less need, but there are
always those situations...
