Can travellers to Britain advise about the use of modems there? I understand that British regulations require the use of a modem approved by British Telecom. My questions: 1. What modems are approved by BT? any likely to have been purchased in the US? 2. Can modems not on the approved list nevertheless be successfully used? 3. For someone travelling to Britain with a portable computer/portable modem, what is the usual way/best way to connect the modem to the telphone system? That is, what should be added to the travel kit of of the person carrying a laptop and modem to Britain? I'm NOT raising the question of power sources, converters, etc., but only of the connection to the telephone. Many thanks. James Woolley UUCP: rutgers!lafcol!woolleyj Bitnet: woolleyj@lafayett
