[comp.dcom.modems] Need info on Compaq modems for portable use in Europe

wjb@cogsci.cog.jhu.edu (William J. Bogstad) (10/04/90)

	I have a Compaq LTE 286 portable which is going to take
a trip to Europe (in particular Italy) and I need to know what
type of internal modem will work and is "registered for use"
there.  It needs to talk V.21, V.22, and V.23.  The person
who is actually going to use it in Italy got a Part number
of "150296-001", but the local Compaq dealers doesn't know what
that is.  Is there an equivalent U.S. part number or a compatible
internal modem.  I assume that any number of external clone modems
are available that can do the V.* standards, but are not authorized
by the PTTs over there.  Any suggestions if I take that route?

				Thanks,
