More options...(since everybody is tooting their horn here goes ours..lol)
www.openisp.net has free GPL multiple server webconsole centralized and
distributed system for one or 1000 boxes with ALL ISP services including
radius and IP mangement with QoS and firewall.
This is serious stuff for little guys, or the big ISP's all over the world
that use this very professional async software with a large user base.
OpenISP is the world leader in GPL ISP management software no joke (async
software: no bogging down the server with multiple updates in realtime MAJOR
COBALT DESIGN FLAW, that makes it and most webconsole systems really just
toys for micro ISPs) that sits on the OS (Linux,Solaris, MAC OSX or
FreeBSD.)
Furthermore, now via linux/windows native client/server app from
unixservice.com you can forget the dumb html/js/php etc...webconsole idea
and use the nessus like interface model (lookup nessus in google if you
don't know what it is you should.)
