EXHIBIT 10.4


                       CONSENT, WAIVER AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


      THIS CONSENT, WAIVER AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (this "Consent"), dated as of
August 3, 2005, is by and among VOIP, INC. ("Parent"), and CAERUS, INC.
("Caerus"), VOLO COMMUNICATIONS, INC.("Volo"), CAERUS NETWORKS, INC., CAERUS
BILLING, INC. and the subsidiaries of Volo that are signatories hereto
(collectively, the "Corporation"), and CEDAR BOULEVARD LEASE FUNDING, INC. (the
"Lender").

      WHEREAS, the Corporation and Lender are parties to that certain
Subordinated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2004 (the "Credit
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Corporation established a credit facility
with Lender;

      WHEREAS, Parent, the sole stockholder of Caerus and guarantor of the
obligations of the Corporation under the Credit Agreement, intends to purchase
substantially all of the assets (the "Asset Purchase") of WQN, Inc. ("WQN"),
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated August 1, 2005, between Parent
and WQN (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") and, in connection therewith, issue to
WQN a bridge note, in the principal amount of $1 million, (the "Bridge Note"),
and, upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase
Agreement, issue a Convertible Promissory Note, in the principal amount of $3.7
million to WQN (the "Convertible Note," together with the Bridge Note, the
"Notes"), which Notes shall be secured by a junior security interest in the
assets of Parent (which assets include the Corporation); and

      WHEREAS, it is a condition to the execution of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the issuance of the Bridge Note and the subsequent completion of the
Asset Purchase and issuance of the Convertible Note, that Lender (1) acknowledge
that the Corporation is not in default of the Credit Agreement or other Loan
Agreements (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and (2) consent to certain
matters.

      NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Consent hereby
agree as follows:

      1. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Lender hereby represents and acknowledges that, to the
best of its knowledge, no Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
under the Credit Agreement or any default under any of the other Loan Agreements
presently exists, or is continuing or will result from the transactions
contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement, except to the extent that the
Credit Agreement is concurrently being amended to provide that it shall be an
Event of Default if Parent is obligated to make any cash payments to WQN under
that certain Convertible Note to be issued by Parent in favor of WQN upon
closing of the Asset Purchase (the "WQN Note") because Parent fails to file a
Certificate of Designation establishing a series of Preferred Stock as required
under the WQN Note (as the same may be amended from time to time).

      2. CONSENT AND WAIVER OF RIGHTS. Lender hereby consents to the Asset
Purchase and the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement,
including, but not limited to, the issuance of the Notes and the creation of the
security interest in favor of WQN and hereby waives Sections 7.01(b), (f) and
(j) of the Credit Agreement in connection with the Asset Purchase.


<PAGE>


      3. NO FURTHER WAIVER. Lender is not waiving any rights with respect to
Sections 7.01(b), (f) and (j) or any of the other provisions of the Credit
Agreement with respect to any transaction or event other than those contemplated
in connection with the Asset Purchase. Lender reserves the right, in its
discretion, to exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under the Credit
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) as a result of any Events of Default that may be continuing as of the
date hereof or any Event of Default that may occur after the date hereof, and
Lender has not waived any of such rights or remedies, and nothing in this
Agreement, and no delay on its part in exercising any such rights or remedies,
should be construed as a waiver of any such rights or remedies.

      4. NOTICES. All notices and communications to be given or otherwise made
to any party to this Consent shall be deemed to be sufficient if contained in a
