I am travelling to Australia from the UK. Should my laptop modem work
OK when dialling up from out there or will I need to get an
international modem. The laptop is new (only bought this year).

All should work OK. For internetaccess you might try ozemail pre-paid
(or similar).
Make sure you dial local numbers only :-)

If dialing from a hotel you might get better results unplugging the
phone and plugging the modem in direct instead of plugging into the
'dataport' of the phone.

Have fun in Oz...
