[comp.dcom.modems] Direct to UK

  Hi,
   My sister will be in the UK (London area) for the next six months or so.
 
  I have a couple of dumb questions about sending mail to the UK and 
touch tones.
 
  1) If my sister finds a kind soul in the UK to send mail (she doesn't have
     a computer, I'm suggesting she look up local user groups for help)
     to my system-- will we be able to exchange data?  From what I understand
     our two countries operate at different standards...
 
  2) Touch Tone Phones-  Does the UK use the same tones as the US?  I as this
     because our answering machine is tone operated & we use our 'memo'
     function to tell other family members where one of us can be located...
        ?Will a pocket tone dialer work from overseas?

  Many thanks for ya-all taking time to read this crazy message,
    Steve
