It depends what the expectations are, and what infrastructure you have accesss to, what challenges there are in gaining coverage. Telkonet can be bought from Tessco. CPEs are around $170 each, but the back end is the significantly more expensive component. ($3000-$5000) If wireless coverage can

Wireless has it's obvious advantages but if you go the BPL route you can use the Motorola product. Just be sure your not going through mroe than one distribution panel. To be honest, depending on the wiring, you may be able to get through a couple of panels. -RickG On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 10:09 AM

Like Charles said, if you were using a full DHCP server to give out VPN IP addresses, you could push routes to customers using DHCP options. But Mikrotik doesn't use a DHCP server for assigning PPTP IPs, just the IP Pools... so this isn't supported. So I think your only options are client side...
