Hi Adrian,

Since you live in rural France, you will need a USB dial up modem
suitable for the French telephone system.  I did a search at
http://ww.google.fr
for the following, and surprisingly it came up with quite a bit of
English stuff:

usb dial up modem

You could also try the following two searches for more.

modem pour accès commuté 

modem classique

Essentially setting up a dial-up modem is not rocket science, but you
will need to obtain information from your ISP as to what number to
dial, plus set-up details, passwords, etc..

Indeed your French ISP may indeed be able to suggest a locally
available modem which they are familiar with.

Going by British prices, they are almost giving dial up modems away,
so hopefully they won't be much different over there.

George.

Hi

I am seriously considering purchasing a nc10 netbook. The
only problem for me is that I live in an area where there is
no broadband at all, although they hope to give it to us in
the near future. I thought about getting a usb modem or
something similar but I don't understand or even know what I
am looking for. The netbooks are designed for broadband but
I'm sure a usb modem would work ok. All I need is something
to connect it to the phone line or the modem, what would you
recommend please? Can you guys advise me. 

Regards

Adrien
