"What free and $$ applications do you use to help monitor and run your WISP? I use:
Ethereal, ntop, solarwinds and various linux commandline stuff such as tcpdump..."
Editor's note: Feel free to check out the various links to these tools in our "Additional Links" section.
IntraLink:
We use Mikrotik on intel and routerboards to route our network and for some AP's.
We use MRTG/RDDTool to chart everything, and will probably migrate to CACTI.
We
use Microsoft ISA Server 2004 to protect our Backoffice Servers running
linux apps and IIS 6.0, SQL 2000, Exchange 2003 and lots of other
software like our billing and remote backup systems.
Ethereal comes in handy a lot.
nwn:
freeradius for authentication.
Red Hat ES Linux.
Apache for webserver.
OpenWebMail for web mail client.
sendmail for mail server.
BillMax for billing.
And similar to IntraLink for routing, etc.

Mdaemon for mail
IIS for web
Mikrotik for bandwidth control, possibly PPPOE in the future.
PRTG for SNMP graphing.

.net but right now it's done in quickbooks and ASP pages.
VariableARK:
