WISP

Overview

I have a MikroTik RouterBoard in a black box. The first thing I did when I got it was flash Debian onto it. Now I am looking at using the official MikroTik RouterOS software instead, because I will soon be working for someone who uses MikroTik hardware extensively in a WISP deployment.

Management

Not being a Microsoft fan I am looking at alternatives to ["The Dude"] for managing and monitoring my RouterOS equipmnent.
