- The only problems you will face Giorgo is the difference of electricity
- and maybe the phone cable.
- I brought my external modem from Greece here in the US and I bought everything
- I needed from Radio Shack. You just have to buy a 120V to 240V transformer
- or better, buy a new power supply for your modem in Switzerland, they can use
- any common ones as long as the power output and plug size match.

- Enjoy your modem! :-)
