@omegatron another beautiful thing about mikrotik - I can buy them locally :) - - I've seen those pics on the forum before.about 12 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to omegatron
@omegatron in fact as local WISP has a mikrotik unit as a hotspot on the roof of my work building right now :)about 12 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to omegatron
@omegatron i've noticed a lot of ISP's are dropping cisco in favor of mikrotik. Especially WISPs using them as hotspots.about 12 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to omegatron

@etychon just getting him riled up. I knew comparing mikrotik to cisco would do it :) Mikrotik does make a good router os though.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck
@IPv6Freely and from what i've read the original IOS was a stripped down variant of unix - now not so much.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely I do believe a large chunk of the cisco voip gear also runs on a linux kernel.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely IOS XE ( Cisco ) is built on linux. Their core router os i'm sure is also a home brew variant of linux.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@fienen because it doesn't say 'cisco' on it - duh :)about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to fienen
@IPv6Freely but wait - isn't Cisco running on a variant of linux?about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely But for routing, tunnels, etc .... mikrotik has most if not all of the same functionality for a fraction of the cost.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely Oh but I do. I use both... Now sure Mikrotik can't touch Ciscos higher end stuff for datacenters .about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely when you buy cereal - do you buy the name brand stuff - or the generics? Why pay for a name .about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely so just because it says 'Cisco' and costs hundreds/thousands more - it's better? Really thats the only difference.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely I might add I use a mix of cisco and mikrotik at work.about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
@IPv6Freely You laugh now but have you actually used a mikrotik router? Or do you just stick to the overpriced cisco branded stuff? :)about 14 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to IPv6Freely
