  This is an overview of pulsar accretion modeling. The physics of pulsar
accretion, i.e., the process of plasma flow onto the neutron star surface, can
be constrained from the spectral properties of the X-ray source. We discuss a
new implementation of the physical continuum model developed by Becker and
Wolff (2007, ApJ 654, 435). The model incorporates Comptonized blackbody,
bremsstrahlung, and cyclotron emission. We discuss preliminary results of
applying the new tool to the test cases of Suzaku data of Cen X-3 and XTE
J1946+274. Cen X-3 is a persistent accreting pulsar with an O-star companion
observed during a bright period. XTE J1946+274 is a transient accreting pulsar
with a Be companion observed during a dim period. Both sources show spectra
that are well described with an empirical Fermi Dirac cutoff power law model.
We extend the spectral analysis by making the first steps towards a physical
description of Cen X-3 and XTE J1946+274.
