My managing director often travels overseas from Australia to USA, UK, Germany, France and Italy. He takes a notebook PC with modem. We are subscribed to AT&T global ISP so we have phone numbers etc for each country. My problem is that we can't always connect to the ISP. What I'm looking for is sme form of software whereby it allows you to seletc which country you are in and adjust you modem settings automatically. We have both inbuilt modems and a Xircom realport 56k. If anyone could help it would be much apprciated, or if there are any other ideas that people know eg hotels where lan access is possible or faster modem access.

Thanks

Hi, I have read your question over and over again to understand what help I could offer you.

No matter what software you want to use is of no use if you can not make a connection with your ISP. The main problem is your ISP not making an Internet connection for your computer to connect to anyone else on the Internet. No software can correct this problem. Contact your AT&T Global account representive and complain about you not being able to make a Internet connection.

I am looking for some software that would automatically configure the modem properties for different countries.
