Modem

Bring a telephone cord to connect the modem to any available telephone
jack. If travelling internationally, bring telephone jack adapters or an
acoustic handset coupler.
Bring a telephone line protector.
Bring a telephone line tester to check for unsafe lines, especially if
travelling internationally.
Bring 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.
Download entire web sites that you frequently refer to for off-line viewing
if you will be travelling for extended periods without access to an Internet
connection.
If your modem has difficulty making a dialing connection, try picking
up a telephone handset and dialing the sequence your modem is
attempting. Dialing by hand may help diagnose where the automatic
dialing encounters problems:
If you do not get a dial tone, check for problems on the telephone
line.
If you get a busy signal, try dialing again later.
If you hear an automated voice message that requires you to pause
for several seconds between entered number sequences or change
the sequence of numbers, adjust the dialing sequences you have
programmed on your computer. If you need to program a pause
within a dialing sequence, use a comma to represent a two-second
pause.
