Modem from US in Colombia?

Hello all. I know nothing of Colombian telephone standards, and have not been able to find anything on the web....

So, my question is this: will my modem from the US function in Colombia? Do they have the same RJ-11 jacks there, or must I buy some converter? Any special software configuration to work with the local phone system?

Thanks.

Modem from US in Colombia? yes it does work Yes, it's the same telephone system and same jack so you don't have to worry about it. If you have a wireless laptop, you will not be able to use it in many places, I only know of two. "Parque de la 93" in Bogota and at the Rionegro Airport which is the one used when travelling to Medellin (MDE).

surge protector I would use a good surge protector when you connect to the phone line. Some of the houses not wired up very well. My girlfriend appartment I could only connect 1200 bps at her parents house. I could not connect at all. At the hotel I could connect at 3300

Parque 93 Andres, where in Parque 93 did you find wireless? The whole park? Or were you just finding leakage from someone's office network nearby?
