** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: pptpd
  
- With RADIUS plugin pppd sending Caller-Station-ID attribute to radius server. But it need to know the IP address of caller station. It use information from 'remotenumber' command line option. I created a very small path to pppd, which add the 'remotenumber' command line upon starting pppd. Withowt it pppd don't send Caller-Station-ID attribute to server.
- I already using this path many years at my ISP platform. It working good !

  It is very important for ISP to know remote user IP.
  Please, consider to include it in distribution (see attached file).
