I am moving to Germany soon and want to know what the modem situation is
there. I seem to remember hearing that the Bundespost maintains rigid
control over what gets connected to telephone lines. Is it true that
one must rent/buy a modem from them? In other words, is it possible
for me to take my modem with me and with the help of a AC adaptor (isn't
it nice that AC isn't standardized worldwide) keep chugging?


Thanks in advance,
