It is very powerful and at a very low price. You setup a pppoe server on the Mikrotik (not that hard to do). Then simply you allow none ip traffic on your radius and if your clients us a broadband router then you set it to use pppoe and provide the username and password and it will take care of it if your clients are windows machines (95/98/me/2k) then you need to install raspppoe (free software) www.raspppoe.com on them and configure up the username and password in the dailer (winxp have a pppoe client with it and has a nice wizard to enable pppoe and take the username and password).
I'm a Mikrotik OEM dealer and can provide the service and support for you to implement this in your network as well sell you the hardware and license.
