	** 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.

dial (313)-577-0321 to connect to a 300-to-9600 bps modem.
it connects you to the MERIT network.  At the terminal prompt
type in the terminal type (I use kermit with vt100).  Then at
the which-host prompt, type in `telnet <complete internet address>'

TO get the MERIT dial-up access number in YOUR city in USA, type HELP
instead of `telnet....'.  Then follow instructions and choose options...

I found information on how to access (atleast how to start going about this way)
internet from India, using the HELP option.  It gives information about
ALL dial-up connections in ALL countries...

BTW, dont use this number regularly.  You could be trespassing detroiters
property.

[stuff deleted]

What he didn't mention is that you can't use this system unless he's
willing to give out his authcode.  I use this system all the time and
you get this when you call in:
Which Host? telnet blah.blah.blah.edu
Then some message like:
Enter authorization code? (hehe..don't you wish?)
Password? (yeah...)

%TN00 - telnet (or somethin' like that)

and so forth...you need an authcode..only way to get one is either to pay
Merit for one, enroll at one of the State of Michigan's universities, or
scam one somehow...I don't suggest two of them...I go to Michigan..but
transferring to get telnet access is not the way to go..hehe

The only time it doesn't ask you for an authcode is when you telnet within
the state...if you use a TCP port, it'll ask you for an authcode too..even
if it's not out of state.
