I'd recommend against using a V.22bis modem for international calls.  The main
reasons are that it isn't very fast (comparatively speaking) and is very
susceptible to line noise.  Look at V.32 modems instead.  Although they are
about 10x in price, they give you 4x the speed to reduce the cost of the
calls, as well as being less susceptible to noise.  So, you spend more up
front, but you get it back many-fold over the course of time.
