Re: [WISPA] "Missing" Bridgewave
If it was legitimately an accident, they happen and probably look for an insurance claim, or just eat the cost. See if any vendors/other ISPs would sell an end in case of a lightning strike or something. It doesn't make sense that they would only sell them in pairs.

[WISPA] Mikrotik User Manager Limitations and Alternatives
We've started out using the Mikrotik User Manager package on an RB1000 for our PPPoE authentication and accounting, but the interface is slowing down now that we've got a few hundred customers on it and a few months of accounting info. And we're only about a quarter of the way into our current customer base. I like the simplicity and integration of the user manager, but is it just not practical for 1000+ accounts? What of running RouterOS and UM on x86 hardware? Is there a way to clear the log files or groom them past a month or two to keep the database size in check?
