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.
Radio frequency wireless
connections
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. If
your notebook is equipped with a wireless device, check with the local
radio approval authorities prior to your trip for any restrictions on the use
of a wireless device in the destination country.
If your notebook came equipped with an internal embedded wireless
device, see "Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information" on page 265 for
general wireless regulatory guidelines.
Wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial
aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned
off while traveling in an airplane. Wireless Ethernet (IEEE 802.11a, also
known as WiFi5, and IEEE 802.11b, also known as Wifi) communication
devices are examples of devices which use wireless to communicate. For
instructions on how to turn off your wireless device, see "Turning your
wireless Ethernet on or off" on page 183.
