MOMMY, I WANNA MAC!

However, I also wanna news access.  Right now, I use a VAX where I
work.  It costs me nothing, and it is no hassle.

If I get a Mac+, say, what do I need?  
1) 	What modems are good?  By good, I mean they must support
multiple protocols as used here in Europe.  I want to be able to take
the creature with me when I travel to the USA, UK, Middle East,...  
2)	What software do I need?  What software is useful which comes
with modems (like smartcomII), but what do I _really_ need for full
functionality with this UNIX distributed ews system?  I want to be
able to read, post, mail to posters, recieve direct from others, and
use general e-mail.  And of course I want to get binaries and sources
which get posted to the net.
3)	What number do I call?  I am in Munich West Germany.

How do I do all this stuff?  I have not seen anything posted about
this yet (obvious: If you can read the news, you already know how to
get it...)

Pointers, answers, anything!
