ArticlesMulticultural Modems


May 1996 / Special Report / Stay Connected / Multicultural Modems

Is your modem up to the task if your business travels take you outside North America? That question is best answered on a country-by-country basis. In Germany, you'll find a basic incompatibility between the native phone system and your "alien" modem. In other countries, your modem may work, but you migh t be breaking the law by using an unauthorized device. You'll also face the never-ending search for the proper adapter to connect your telephone cable.

One of the products in our tests, the TDK DF2814, provides solutions to all these problems. TDK's software lets you configure the product for use in 17 European and Asian countries. You can download from a TDK BBS additional country configurations as they become available. TDK also includes cable adapters for France, Italy, and the U.K., along with information for ordering other specialized phone gear for international travel.
