** 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.
