RE: Is hotspot going to replace PPPoE

Since one of the big reasons ISPs go with PPPoE is because they can take advantage of their current Radius authentication system and it gives users the same feeling as dial-up I doubt too much is going to replace it. Especially since the interest in PPPoE has not died in anyway since it was first introduced 4 years ago, and pretty much every Telco in the world is using it now for DSL.

I don't see much activity on this list, so here is a real current issue that I would like to hear people comment on.

Is HOTSPOT technology going to replace PPPoE. We also make hotspot servers
and this appears to be the way of the future. We have ten times more interest in hotspot than pppoe. Basically "hotspot" means a box that can
autheticate and give access with the client computers have dhcp or static
ip configured. Of course it is not ppp, but we have included all the radius info and most of the important features of ppp in our "hotspot" authentication. Before any ppp gurus get mad, most of what is needed from
ISPs from ppp (and pppoe) do can be done with "hotspot" technology. It is
easier for the client because they don't need a pppoe client.

Comments please!
