What is IPass MCM?

Internet Access With a Local Call Worldwide!
Gain local-call access to the Internet from every major city of the world through NETfront's True Global Internet Roaming service enabled through iPass. This is a cost-effective solution for business travelers and telecommuters who must make long distance telephone calls to access their Internet accounts at home or at their workplace.

What do you need?
All you need is the iPass Microsoft Connection Manager, Windows 95/98/NT and your NETfront account. In just a few seconds, with a simple point-and-click interface, the iPass MCM enables you to connect to the Internet with a local phone call from every major city in the world and it will update the phone book and price list automatically. You maintain one account with NETfront, continue to use the web browser and e-mail program of your choice, and always use the same user ID and password. NETfront provides you with the iPass MCM at no additional charge.

What are the benefits?
The benefits of using the iPass global internet roaming service are:

 Roaming charges are significantly less than long distance charges.
Log into a local number all over the world with one account.
Access all Internet services such as e-mail and WWW.
Use existing (and familiar) web browser/e-mail.
Receive only one bill for all Internet and roaming charges.

How does it work?
The use of intelligent routing and iPass RoamServer software that resides on NETfront system make this roaming service possible. iPass provides a service between NETfront and other ISPs around the world to enable their customers to be authenticated when dialing into each other's services.

All you must do is have an account with NETfront . When you travel, you dial into local number and you log in with the same user ID and password, but include your domain name after your user ID, (e.g., user@netfront.net). In effect, you are still logging into the Internet via NETfront, even though you are dialing in through a different provider. You can continue to use your regular web browser, e-mail program or newsgroup software.
