encrypted password - radius over WAN

I'd like to implement pam_radius module on some of our
Linux boxes but I am worried about password
(pam_radius can only do PAP) being captured and
misused since the radius server is at central office
and clients are all over the place.

I read
(http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/480/10.html#comp_packet_encry)
that radius encrypts passwords using the secret key
between radius server and client, is this true with
FR?

I suppose I can build some stun or openvpn tunnels
between linux clients and FR but before I go down that
road, I'd like to know if its necessary.
