I often take a GRID Compass computer with me on travel and it has a
built in 1200 baud modem.  I have a little box that I made up that has
a modular jack with two alligator clips hanging off it.  That and a
small screwdriver is usually sufficient.  You'll probably have to experiment
on which lines to hook to.  Most hotel phones are pretty cheap jobs and
generally don't obey the red-green/black-yellow conventions that WE uses.

Now if my 800 numbers just worked in Canada.
