There are currently no provisions for the beta program outsied of the
USA. The reasons given have been the shortness of the beta cycle for 
product and that IBM has not officially announced its plans for the
new "Worldwide Developer Assistance Program," which we have been
informed will be formally disclosed by John Soyring somewhere around
the 18th of October. 

Now the phone question: In the States the phones have alphabet
characters as well as numbers. (GHI= 4, ABC= 2, MNO= 6) You
cannot however use this system to spell anything with a 'Q' or
a 'Z' as they are not provided on the dial. I haven't ever seen
a British phone so I have no way of knowing wether it is the same 
there <grin>.

Cherio!
