Many modems have a country setting.  Setting it to the right country
should do the right thing.  You might need a correct cable to connect to
the phone jack from the modem (most modems have north american style
connectors on them because they are small and cheap).  If you don't set
the country setting wrong, you may not be able to dial and/or connect.
You might also (quite likely) be breaking the law in the country you are
in. :)
