Last nisit to France, I had no trouble getting connected with a
dial-up modem. I did forget to bring a French telephone plug (big) but
the phones themselves had the same jacks as they do here in the body
of the phone. I just unplugged the cord at the phone, and connected it
to my modem.

That presupposes your ISP has a presence in France. Mine which was
ibm.net and later attglobal.net keeps up a database of access numbers
all over the world.

Once the modem dialed, it behaved just as it does in the US.
