Roger check with export regulations (us customs) some technology is 
restricted to noth america only... [ITAR and EAR] England should not be that 
bad since it is in NATO  but it is best to check as volations can be  costly 
and customs/ homeland security has gotten toucher after 9-11 . Altough it 
may be diffent for personal use of us citizens while they are abroad as a 
non-permant export it is best to check. As for the voltage and frequency an 
aproprate voltage adaptor should sufice. I don't know enough about British 
phone systems to answer the other question.

Aside from the  voltage difference, what else should be considered if
sending a laptop to England?? There is the 50 to 60 Hz condition.
Also, what about modem connection??
Assume AOL is available there. If not, another ISP would work.
