Greetings!

I have a friend who is going to the UK soon and has a modem which will
support CCIT (?) protocols, which I understand are used in the UK.
What I would like is any information on how to physically connect the
modem to the UK outlets.  I'm told that the UK has modular plugs, but
ones quite different from US plugs.  Any suggestions on how to attack
this?  Any company out there which supplies cords with a UK plug on
one end and a US plug on the other?


Thanks,

Toby Loftus
