I failed to notify members of this list of my upcoming training
session in St. Louis. See below for the announcement. If you
contact me directly, I will honor the $850 discount until Thursday,
July 3 for the Standard Training.

******BEGIN MESSAGE*******
I have several announcements to make, and wanted to share them with
this group. First, I have put together a blog site where I will be
posting free tutorials and information that WISPs will likely find
of value. There is not much content on the blog yet but I am working
hard to get it online. The blog, http://blog.butchevans.com/, will
cover specific configurations for ImageStream devices, Mikrotik
RouterOS tutorials, general networking tutorials and wireless
topics. There will be HUNDREDS of articles posted there by year's
end, so be sure to check back often. You can subscribe for email
announcements of new articles or if you prefer, use your favorite
RSS reader to view new articles and comments.
Also, I'd like to officially announce the new forum website,
http://www.wisp-forums.com/. This website is a WISP-centered forum
that will hopefully grow to be a large enough community to be useful
for all. It will never get there if you folks don't use it,
however. If you see topics that are missing, by all means let me
know and I'll get them added.
I'd also like to announce a new partnership with ImageStream to
handle their training program. There is more information on that
below. And finally, there are two new Mikrotik training events
scheduled for St. Louis, MO. The curriculum for the Standard
Training course is the most up to date and longest running training
course available today. If you have taken other courses and been
unhappy with the presentation or content, be sure to look over the
reviews from our course (below). If you have considered getting
training for the RouterOS platform, now is the time and the pricing
doesn't get much better. We do offer a private training option, but
the public training is usually a cheaper way to get your training.
Registration links and further information for the following courses
are available at http://www.butchevans.com/.
Currently scheduled courses:
Standard MikroTik RouterOS Certification Training
July 8-11, 2008
Location: St. Louis, MO
Security Focused Network Design using Mikrotik RouterOS
July 21-23, 2008
Location St. Louis, MO
ImageStream ICNA Training
October 6-10, 2008
Location: Denver, CO
My new partnership with ImageStream is going to be a good
partnership. It will give ImageStream an opportunity to produce
training classes at regular intervals and it will give me further
opportunity to become more familiar with this tremendous product. I
first began using ImageStream in about 2004 and their offering was
simply amazing then. If you are not familiar with what they have to
offer, you can see more about them and their product line at
http://www.imagestream.com/.
I have now completed the third session of my (wisp-training)
"Security Focused Network Design using Mikrotik RouterOS" class. It
just keeps getting better all the time, if I DO say so myself. But
you don't have to take my word for it. Below you will find a few
quotes from folks who have attended a previous training. These are
taken from the surveys that we ask students from both classes to
fill in.
Daniel Laframboise of Centre de secretariat plus had this to say:
"This training is a MUST for anyone using or planning to use
Mikrotik. Butch's knowledge, understanding and experience with
Mikrotik makes the training worth the 7 hours of plane I made to get
to the training. Every second of this training was important and to
the point, no time is lost. To me, this training was worth each and
every penny and help me avoid costly mistakes. Thanks for this high
quality training"
Jimmy Murphy of Texas Communications said:
"Butch has a great understanding of Networking and the Mikrotik OS,
he is able to take this knowledge and convey it so that it is easily
understood."
Randy Evans (no relation) of Geeks On Patrol said:
"I learned more from this class than I have from any other techincal
class I've ever attended."
The early registration period for the Mikrotik courses is fast
approaching it's end. Current pricing for the standard training is
just $850 (regular $950). Purchase must be completed before the end
of the early registration period.
