Modem

Take a telephone cord to connect the modem to telephone jacks. If you
are traveling internationally, take telephone jack adapters or an acoustic
handset coupler.
Take a telephone line protector.
Take a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines, especially if you
are traveling internationally.
Take remote access information with you so you can connect to your ISP
while outside of your usual calling area. A list of country dialing codes
may be especially useful if you are traveling internationally.
Download entire Web sites that you frequently visit for off-line viewing
if you will be traveling for extended periods without access to an Internet
connection.

Files

Copy your working files from your desktop computer to your notebook
before you travel.
If you need to access your desktop computer files from your notebook
while traveling, set up the desktop computer for remote access.
Take extra diskettes for transferring files between computers and backing
up files.

Security

Get a locking cable for your notebook so you can attach a cable lock and
leave the notebook in your hotel room while you are away.
Always keep your notebook with you while waiting in airports, train
stations, or bus terminals. Be ready to claim your notebook as soon as it
passes through the x-ray machine in security checkpoints.
Write down your notebook model number and serial number (available
on the system label) in case of theft or loss, and keep the information
in a safe place. Also, tape your business card or an address label to your
notebook and accessories.
