You don't even need to go searching for drivers. Just go into the configuration panel and name the country you are in, and you will be asked for the appropriate information. Note that you can name nre configurations as you define them, so you can easily go back to a previously defined one. If you plan to use the analog modem function (in the absence of ISDN), you must get the appropriate data coupler (DAA) for each country. Laurence V. Marks IBM Corp. - Research Triangle Park, NC
