well, as you supplied nearly no information (size of the net, what clients, needed features) i would suggest using pppoe :-)
works with nearly every cpe-equipment out there, has many nice features such as rate-limiting and it is used by the most wisps here.



p.s.: Hi Pepo :-)

thanks for all, but i want to say that i faced some problems on deploying pppoe server to my clients like:
1. the pppoe connection goes to idel if the one of hotspot customers take an ip for that pppoe client.
2. the pppoe connection couldn't be established and a message appears tell you that the server is busy, how it come ???

1. of course use different pools for both services
2. that is too generic, please activate logging for pppoe (winbox -> system -> logging -> +-sign -> choose pppoe -> ok) and post a log when connecting with a client to the server.
and of course be aware that you need a layer2-connection from the pppoe-server to the pppoe-client, thats why it is called PPPoverEthernet :-) so make up a eoip-tunnel from the server to your access-point, if they are not the same system and if they are, confirm that the pppoe-server is running on a bridge or an interface that is directly accessible from the clients, no routing between them and the pppoe-server.
