In a couple of weeks several people from Japan will be demonstrating some things they have been working on at a workshop here in Denver. They are bringing their own equipment (PCs, modems, a CAPTAIN terminal, etc.) One of them is concerned (justifiably) whether his equipment will work. He has asked for 100 (not 110 or 120) volt power, a "Japanese" style receptacle, and "Japanese" style phone receptacles for the modems. He sent a picture of the telephone receptacle and plug, it looks just like an RJ11 plug and receptacle to me. Does anyone know whether the Japanese commonly use RJ11? Does anyone know what kind of power is typically provided at "wall outlets", i.e. what voltage and frequency, and what a "Japanese" style power plug looks like?. If it matters, most of these people are from the Tokyo area. (Someone told me they use 50 hertz power in the "North", 60 hertz in the "South"! I appreciate your help.
