Internet Access With a Local Call Worldwide!
Now you can get local-call access to the Internet from every major city in the world
through DACOR's True Global Internet Roaming service enabled through
iPass! This is a cost-effective solution for business travelers and
telecommuters who need to make long-distance telephone calls to access
their home Internet accounts.
What do you need to use the service?
All you need is a DACOR account and the iPass connection software.
There are three connection software options: iPass Dial Wizard for
Windows 95/98/ME or NT/2000/XP, iPass Dial Wizard for Macintosh System
8 through 10. 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. DACOR provides this to you
at no additional cost. You maintain one account with DACOR,
continue to use the web browser and e-mail program of your choice, and
always use the same user ID and password.

-
Log into a local number from around the world with one account

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 DACOR that enables
these access networks to be available to you. This software
facilitates secure routing of user authentication requests
over the Internet between DACOR 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 @DACOR.NET at the end of your user name, e.g.
john@DACOR.NET). Your authentication request will be encrypted and sent
over the Internet to DACOR'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 us
to accurately bill you for the services used.
