[X-Newbies] take my G5 to France?

[Carole Wessel]

Hi Randy,
Thanks for your anwer.
Instead of buying the adapter, do you think I can just buy the cable 
with the three round prong in France? Will this work for the Apple 
display as well?

However, I am concerned about the internal modem (did not think of it 
before you mentioned it).
I am going to have a DSL in France. Does it mean that I can't have an 
ethernet cable going from my G5 to an external modem with my "American" 
internal modem, like I do it now with Verizon?

Thanks again.
Carole
