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.

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.
