Taking U.K Modem to AUS :)

I was thinking that when we went to AUS, we wouldn't be able to take our modem with us, as the connection at the phone socket is different in AUS than in the UK.

Have just found adapters to change UK to AUS, so it fits their sockets, in PC World for only £6.99 if anyone's interested

Any comments appreciated.
