Greetings! I have a friend who is going to the UK soon and has a modem which will support CCIT (?) protocols, which I understand are used in the UK. What I would like is any information on how to physically connect the modem to the UK outlets. I'm told that the UK has modular plugs, but ones quite different from US plugs. Any suggestions on how to attack this? Any company out there which supplies cords with a UK plug on one end and a US plug on the other? Thanks, Toby Loftus

You didn't mention the modem manufacturer, most of the ones with European versions of the same modem will provide cabling free or for a small fee..... Is your friend aware that it is not generally LEGAL to just plug a modem in to the wall in Europe? You may wish to try your local Codex sales rep,,,,they do sell modems overseas and can offer advice... (I don't work for them ... .just know they provide phone cords for THEIR modems.
