How to Roam
The iPass connection software contains an international phone
book with iPass access points and login information. A simple
point-and-click interface acts as an "assistant" and creates
a connection to the Internet based on the country, city and
phone number selected.
Please choose the connection software for your operating system.
iPass Dial Wizard for Windows 95
iPass Dial Wizard for Macintosh (System 7.5.3 or higher)
Microsoft Connection Manager for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95
Before You Roam
There are four important things to do before you travel -
- Test the connection software before roaming: Follow the instructions for
installing the iPass Dial Wizard or Microsoft Connection Manager and test
its operability before you begin traveling. We suggest that you test several access
points.
- Understand that modems function differently worldwide: Many countries
have different telecommunications laws and practices. Check with your
modem supplier to ensure your modem will be compatible with the phone
systems in the country where you are traveling. Many of the older modems
are not compatible from country to country. Make sure you also have
compatible electrical power adapters for the country where you are
roaming. For comprehensive information about international phone
systems, or to purchase the adaptors you will need while traveling,
please see: http://www.teleadapt.com/ipass.
- Update your iPass connection software: Before you begin
roaming, consult with us to make sure you have the most recent
release of the iPass connection software. This will ensure you
have the current access numbers before you roam. iPass adds new
phone numbers regularly.
- Create a free, web-based Email account: Due to problems with spam
(unsolicited email), our server doesn't accept email sent through
from any outside source (ie. an ISP in Ontario). This means that won't be able to
send an email using your PowerLink account while on the road, but we've found
a solution to this. There are many free web-based email services available that
will let you send and receive email from any computer, anywhere in the world.
For more information on setting up an account, take a look at their sites:
