jesus christ, $3600 and $2800?  What does that get you that a properly set
up installation of cacti with threshold alerting, and a separate also
properly setup opennms instance doesn't?

opennms is a very powerful tool and has a bit of a learning curve behind
it. it's also way more powerful than the average WISP needs. It runs the
NMS and alerting systems for some major north american backbone ISPs that
operate hundreds of >10Gbps longhaul links, dozens of serious core routers
ranging in size from a 7606 up to a CRS-3, and watches circuits for
enterprise customers that happily pay $20,000 a month.

You have to set it up correctly and integrate it with paging (email to SMS
gateways for your mobile phone provider), outgoing email and other alerting
systems.
