You don't say where you will be doing your backpacking, so I don't know if a
cell phone is an option. Cell phones are nice and light, and you can send
from your tent! :)
If it were me though, I wouldn't bother to carry an acoustic coupler. I
would just carry a telephone extension cord of decent length. If you're
travelling it shouldn't be hard to find a coffee shop / pub / wildlife
supply store willing to let you use their phone line. There's always a jack
in the wall... It will help if you are using a calling card. If you find an
unwilling shop owner, give him/her a demonstration of your Newt, including
how you can send and receive email. That never fails.
Good luck.
