   Sorry, but I think I do not understand what is going on !
 Is this "Waffle" a hardware or just software, and if it is only software
 you will definitly need modem ? and if u use modem what is the telephone
 number that you are going to dial from Nipal (or in my case, Egypt). It
 is not an 800 #, is it?

   thanks for your anticipated explaination.
