- Hello,
-
- I consider buying a modem, but I like to know if I will be able to connect
- it to the telephone lines in the US without much hazard. I realise that
- the modem signals a compatible, (with minor exceptions) but what about the
- HW side ? For instance I know that english phones cannot be connected directly
- to the greek network. So I would like to know what happens with a modem
- in any of the following country pairs :
-
- Switzerland - U.S.
- Switzerland - Germany
- Switzerland - Greece
- Greece - Germany
- Greece - US
- Germany - US
-
- Anybody who can comment on any of them ? :-))
