Unless you really like the Waffle user interface and your users
would like to keep it :-).  I would suggest some form of simple
plug and play UUCP system may be the answer for them.

I strongly recommend WinNet which is about as simple as you can
get for a plug and play UUCP system.  It runs under Windows and
will talk directly to Waffle quite well.
