One thing you may also need to be aware of when using
your modem over seas (meaning anywhere other than the
US) Most other countries do not use a clean sine wave
for their dial-tone. Most modems don't have a problem
with this, but some do (most countries use a square
wave and the voltage isn't enough to indicate an
off-hook condition) So, what you may find you need to
do is you may need to tell the Newt to dial without
looking for a dial-tone...That worked for me last time
I travelled through Europe...I figured that heck, I
won't even bother to figure out which countries would
work and which wouldn't, so i left it on dial without
looking for a dialtone the entire trip, no matter
where I was...Worked every time (using a Newton 2000,
and a Simple 33.6 modem with phone adapter kit from
Simply wireless)
