I've replaced working mikotek/routerboards at clients with pfsense boxes to get
better control over bandwidth management and greater stability under load.

Still, the routerboards ARE nice, though they had to be called to the carpet to
get the company to honour the GPL. Looked at the way they distribute the GPL
parts a few months ago - have to fill out a form and send US$45 for them to
provide the code, I vaguely recall.  Hopefully there is a mirror of that stuff
somewhere else by now. Basically almost all of routerOS is GPL software.

Anyway - getting the GPL code from them just "feels nasty", so not so sure I
want to give a company like that any money at all. We each have to decide where
we are on that scale.
