Hi Luis,

You can conditionally authorize users based on phone numbers, yes, if 
the NAS provides you that information, which it should if your telco 
carrier provides it.  Calling-Station-Id usually contains the number 
that the user is dialling from (the calling party), and 
Called-Station-Id usually contains the number that the user dialled (the 
called party).  You can use those attributes as part of check items in 
your users file, or whatever you happen to use.

Cheers,
