I'm sure the RadWin is a real nice product, and that windows only is fine for many people. But Josh's comment did help some people, such as myself, so that we can qualify whether the RadWin product is right for us. I would have been pissed if I ordered a $3k-$5k radio and then learned I couldn't use it after it arrived, because of GUI requirements. Clearly the mechanisms available to configure a radio are relevent. Support for Telnet is just as relevent as support for SNMP for example, if a WISP's Network Management design requires it. For example in our network, we insist that all critical WAN equipment that we use supports a command line interface, so it can be managed by our command line Routers, without disconnecting the radio from the router, or relying on a free port on the router that would need configured for a laptop to be connected to. Having a windows only config option does not make a product bad, but it does undisputedly limit the market potential of that product, because there are a percentage of ISPs that rely on text console management, for many reasons..
