Your adapter will work fine on 240/50 current, but you'll need plug converters because the UK and French wall sockets are shaped differently than those in the US. (Question for European listers: is there a common plug/socket specification part of the European Union?) You can buy fairly universal kits for $10-$20 at drugstores, department stores, radio shacks, etc here, or you can wait until you're there. BTW, when I misplaced my converter last time I was in England I just used recharged the machine in the bathroom; UK shaver outlets have US-spec sockets. For your modem you'll need a different plug converter, and you'll need to tell the modem not to try to recognize dial tones/rings/busy signals etc (unless you have something like the IBM 'International' modem.) > I know hotel phones are >quite expensive; where else might we be able to use a phone line to send >& download e-mail (Admiral's Club at the airports comes to mind, where >else?) Cybercafes are reasonably common and cheap in cities in England and Scotland. - David
