I'm an Indian citizen, and I do need a visa for most countries (except Nepal and perhaps some other countries in the neighbourhood). It turns out the model I looked at yesterday has a winmodem (a Lucent Technologies softmodem). There's supposed to be some linux support for that now, otherwise I'll have to ask about replacing it with something else -- it looks like it's not supported with FreeBSD. > If you want to come up to Brussels and look around, let me know. Would the prices/range be very different? If so, I may take up that offer in a couple of weeks time -- it's only an hour by train I believe, so I could probably come in the morning and return the same evening.
