not sure how or if it could be done but would be nice to be able to hit up some of the mikrotik switches via mac address instead of ip. as some are not controlled via ip and mac only.

It probably could be done, but the amount of work required to do it is quite high (the only current open source implementation of a mac-telnet client is in pure C).
Unimus would also have to be on L2 with the managed devices, and using Telnet also creates security issues.
So since the implementation time for this feature is high, and its use-case is limited (usually you really want to use SSH), currently I dont think its worth investing time into.
If there is enough user demand for this feature, I will gladly look into it more closely
