Spanish Phone Socket Help
Please help...
I am off to Ibiza and need to find out what kind of phone sockets they have to enable me to collect emails from my laptop.
Is there an adaptor I need or do they use the same shape that is in the side of my laptop?
Thanks

Network connections are standard worldwide, if by "network" you mean plugging in an ethernet Cat5 cable.
Phone sockets vary considerable. There's a company whose name I forget who sells individual adapters, and quite comprehensive kits for travelling salesmen etc.
Less trouble, but often considerably more expensive, might be simply to connect your mobile phone to your laptop and make international calls back to your UK ISP - this will work in most places except the USA (unless you get a tri-band phone).

It's teleadapt I think. Not cheap but they do offer advice to rather than just a bag of bits.
It can sometimes be cheaper to buy a local pay as you go phone or sim card that can do GPRS and use IRDA or Bluetooth than use a hotel phone.
