The iPass Dial Wizard contains an international phone book with every iPass access point and login information. It has a point-and click interface and acts as an "assistant" that creates new Windows 95 dial-up connection scripts for you. It does this based on the specific cities for which you want to have a dial-up iPass connection.
The iPass Dial Wizard is for Windows 95/98/NT/2000 users or Ipass Dial Wizard for Macintosh. Users must have Dial-Up Networking installed in the My Computer folder.

- Test the Dial Wizard before roaming
Follow the instructions for installing the iPass Dial Wizard and test its operability before you begin traveling. We also recommended you set up alternative access numbers before you begin roaming (this is a precautionary measure as some access points can occasionally be unavailable).
- Different modems functioning 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 have all compatible electrical power adapters needed for the country where you are roaming. For some comprehensive information about international phone systems, please see: http://www.teleadapt.com/.
- Updating your Dial Wizard
Before you begin roaming, consult with your home Internet service provider to make sure you have the most recent release of the iPass Dial Wizard. This will ensure you have the current access numbers before you roam. iPass adds new phone numbers regularly.
