Jim,
As you know I work for a reputable company whose reporters would *never*
think of contravening the local telecoms regulations by removing the covers
of one of the *dozens* of incompatible phone jacks found around the
world...which makes me wonder quite what they wanted all those
RJ11->crocodile clip adaptors for... :)
Seriously - most modern hotels in Europe will have RJ11 jacks though you
can't guarantee it. If you're lucky you might even find a power point unused
in the room somewhere close to it. But don't hold your breath looking!
Neil
