I think the attraction of MikroTik is that it supports PoE, so you can plug in a hard phone with just a ethernet cable and no extra power supply required. I wish there was a x86 architecture board that delivered PoE out on the ethernet ports (looks like MikroTik is not x86). It would be a great platform for AstLinux.
