IWSAS 2001
Computer/Net information

The electric line is 230V/50Hz in Hungary. The line connector is Euro standard. Most laptops accept both 230V/50Hz and 110V/60Hz. However, this is not always true. Please check your laptop before taking it with you. If it accepts 230V/50Hz, and the plug is different from the Euro standard, prepare for using an adaptor (the best is if you take one with you).

There will be no free Internet access in the hotel. You can use your own laptop and modem through the phone-line (standard phone connector) in your room at your own cost (the hotel charges approx. $1 for a 15 min local call  or a 5 min long distance call). Please check if your Internet provider has a Hungarian dial-up number. If not, we can provide you with a very limited acces to the University's modem-service.

You may receive emergency e-mails to the hotel's address during the workshop. The address is hoteluni@elender.hu. Sorry, they do not allow sending e-mails from their computers.


Please send any comments or inquires to simon@mit.bme.hu.
