Internet connection in Aus

[Peter Sealy]

My son who lives in Asia will be visiting me in a few months while 
doing some work here in Oz. He will be bringing his PowerBook which he 
purchased overseas to do his work on and will need internet connection 
at times while he is here and staying with me. I only have dialup thru 
a modem but that will do for him he said for his short stay. We know 
the voltage is not a problem and we will have to get a converter 3 pin 
plug, again no problem. But I do not have any idea about the phone 
connection cable. Can we just plug in a phone connection cable used 
here, like for my external modem [on my BWG3], between his PB and our 
home telephone outlet? I have not examined a PB up close let alone used 
one. [Altho if I get to use this one I may buy one!] Are the phone 
connection ports on the PB international universal?
Also any advice on setting modem scripts for the PB's internal modem? 
Or do you even have to do that? Just plug and play as it were? My ISP 
is Hotkey and my phone company is Telstra.
I would be grateful for any advice.
