Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Looks like getting connected
over there should work out.
One thing though. I haven't been able to find a connection adapter that
will turn an RJ11 into the kind of telephone plug-in that is used in
France. Anyone know where to get that kind of adapter here in
Anchorage? I've tried Frigid North, but they didn't have anything like
that.
You can see a picture of what I am talking about here...

I'm hoping that maybe they will have both an RJ11 outlet and the outlet
that is native to French telecom in the hotel I am staying at.???
Thanks again.
Chris.
