	** Please send responses to chetter@leland.stanford.edu **

I have a cool 386/25 notebook with a fax modem.  I travel lots.  I am very
keen on email.  1) Is there a list of phone numbers in the USA, Europe,
Australia or the world where I could call up and get a telnet prompt?  I'm
sure the must be some other way for me to access my email account while
travelling besides a long-distance call to Stanford.  In Germany this
would be particularly helpful.

2) Any tips from travelers about using a fax or modem abroad?  If I set it
on pulse, will it always work?  Do all telephones use just two wires, and
if I just rip apart my modular phone plug and jam the wires randomly into
forign wall sockets will it work....or is there a better way??

Thank you if you can help.  I can barely read news let alone anonymous
ftp, so anything you SEND to me at chetter@leland.stanford.edu will be
most appreciated...info or software or whatever.
