Default IT Equipment

Can anyone help. We will be moving to Perth around Oct/Nov this year and I was wondering if we can take our IT equipment with us - (hubby is an IT geek) we have 4 pcs, printers, scanners and a fax machine - will they work over in OZ?

IT geek , and only 4 computers

My wife made me get rid of the 8 in the loft, as above everything should work, but there maybe an issue with faxes, telephones and tv depending on the standards and connectors.

datamile; the fax will work seeming it works on a 19,000 Khz frequency same as the UK. TV's thats hit and miss telephones can be converted but its not worth the bloody trouble doing it for the time consumed i would rather just get new phones.

You will need to change over the fax->BT skt cable to a fax->oz phone socket cable but that should hopefully work first time. Most stuff [modems, faxes] uses a standard RJ11 connection at the equipment end, but as The_Pom_From_Aus points out, phones often won't work due to differing connections.

p.s. only 4 computers and he calls himself a geek ??? You never have too many...[can't say my wife agrees however...]
