What do you need to use the service?
All you need is a PowerLink account and the iPass connection software. There are three connection software options: iPass Dial Wizard for Windows 95, iPass Dial Wizard for Macintosh or Microsoft Connection Manager for Windows 95 or NT. The connection software has a very simple point-and-click interface that allows you to connect to a local access number from around the world in seconds. PowerLink provides this to you at no additional cost. You maintain one account with PowerLink, continue to use the web browser of your choice, and always use the same user ID and password.

What are the benefits?

Roaming charges are significantly less than long-distance charges
Get better quality Internet connections with local calls
Log into a local number from around the world with one account
Gain access to all Internet services such as e-mail and WWW
Receive only one bill for all Internet and roaming charges

How Does it Work?
iPass forms relationships with ISPs around the world that have the highest quality Internet access networks and that provide access in far reaching locations. iPass provides software to PowerLink that enables these access networks to be available to you. This software facilitates secure routing of user authentication requests over the Internet between PowerLink and other providers.

When you travel outside of our regular service area, you can dial into any of the worldwide iPass access points using your iPass connection software. You will log in with your standard user name and password (appending @wkpowerlink.com at the end of your user name, e.g. john@wkpowerlink.com). Your authentication request will be encrypted and sent over the Internet to your home provider's authentication server. The server will check your information and send an authorization response (or denial if appropriate) back to the ISP you are dialing into so that you can gain access to the Internet. This process takes about five to ten seconds. iPass tracks the time you are connected to enable PowerLink to accurately bill you for the services used.
