i have used a u.s. modem in france without (too many) problems. hard part was getting the intitialization sequence. best to find someone else with a modem and look at theirs. ibm sell DAA's for different telecom systems. you would remove your internal U.S. daa, put in (as i recall) a connector that goes to you external telephone port, then plug in your new external daa to that, and a - is it rj11 - with a french adapter to the daa. i am not sure how configurable these daa's are, relative to an ordinary modem. regards, al Alden S Klovdahl / alden.klovdahl@anu.edu.au / fax: +61 62 49 05 25 Sociology Arts / Australian National University / Canberra ACT Australia 0200 On Mon, 12 Aug 1996, Larry Gushee wrote: > > > On Mon, 12 Aug 1996, Mikael Bendtsen wrote: > > > The thing is, they're not very pleased with the built-in Mwave modem > > since they need a new DAA Kit to almost every country.
