Can someone explain to me in simple terms how to setup calling the calendar using ssi?

You can find several links dealing with SSI and CalendarScript in the 'Links' section of the Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins site.

The one with probably the most susinct explanation is titled "Having trouble with SSI" but all have some information on the subject which is useful.

I read through all the SSI posts you refer to here and tried the various forms of calls (exec cmd, exec cgi, include virtual, etc).  None of which worked.  So, I emailed my host and they said,
#exec is a command to execute and this is not supported on our servers. Please use

< !--#include file="value"-->

ir

< !--#include virtual="/folder/filename"-->

Well, of course I NEED the file to be executed, not just included.  Is there any work around for this?  I tried pasting the ssi_max_events template right in my home page, but it looks like it uses functions defined in calendar.pl.  It looks like I won't be able to have a list of upcoming events on my home page, but I thought I would just ask if there was any other way.

** I NEED the file to be executed, not just included. **

The include SSI tag does execute the file on an Apache server. I don't know what type of server software your host is running though.

BTW. I hope this is not the exact tag you're using because it is incorrect!

< !--#include virtual="/folder/filename"-->

There should be no spaces in it. Eg.

<!--#include virtual="/folder/filename"-->

    To properly diagose SSI problems we need to know if the SSI tag being used is generating an error message and if not, if the SSI tag itself has been removed by the page's sourse code.

My site is on Windows NT.  With both the include file and the include virtual, the browser displays all the raw code on the resulting page.  See http://64.37.124.168/family.shtm

Well that's Windows? for you. Sorry I don't do Windows, you'll have to check with your host, move to a host using Apache server software or wait and hope someone else can offer a suggestion.  

You could display the SSI template inside an iframe tag on another page?
