iPass - Internet access worldwide with a local call
Windows CE, Pilot and Psion User Information
Currently, we do not offer formal support for Windows CE, Palm Pilot or Psion
handheld devices, and do not provide technical support for these platforms.
iPass have released full-functioning dialers for handhelds which we provide
here, unsupported. You can download iPassConnect for WinCE and Palm
PDA's, and the appropriate documentation.

Some technical users may want to use an unsupported work-around
appropriate for connecting each device to the Internet via the iPass network
with their handheld devices. These work-arounds normally require that the
user locate and manually enter a script to identify the dial-in user as an
iPass user. (This scripting is handled invisibly and automatically on iPass
dialers for Windows 95/98/NT and Macintosh.) Handheld users can follow these
directions for Windows CE, Palm Pilot, and Psion. This can give access to
iPass' entire network of 3,000+ POPs.
Palm Pilot Work-Around
There are some good third party descriptions for entering and using scripts
on your Palm Pilot.
Psion Series 5 Work-Around
Psion New Zealand has created a dialer (also unsupported) for Psion that includes
scripts and can be found at http://www.psion.co.nz/helpFiles/series5/ipass.htm.
Windows CE Work-Around
iPass does not currently support Windows CE because Windows CE dialers can
not implement dial-in scripts and the majority of iPass POPs require the running
of scripts after modem negotiation.
The contents of the scripts, however, can be entered manually. There are some
users doing this successfully, although we do not recommend that non-technical
users attempt this work-around. If you want to try accessing the iPass network
via Windows CE, you should first install the iPass
Dial Wizard (the older iPass dialer) on a Windows 95/98 machine so
that you can get the following files:
-
- ipass.ipb
- imp-w95.scp
- kar-w95.scp
- moz-w95.scp
- ntt-w95.scp
- oze-w95.scp
- sci-w95.scp
- uun-w95.scp
Normally, these files will be found in the \Program Files\iPass\iPass Dial
Wizard\ folder.
All files with .scp extension are script files. As stated earlier, most of
iPass POPs require the running of one of these files (scripts). POP-specific
information is provided in the ipass.ipb phonebook. The contents of the scripts
are case sensitive.
An entry from the ipass.ipb may look like the following, with fields separated
by |.
108|DZ|213|2|741200|Algiers||104408|sci-w95.scp|S104408/||0|
(You can open *.ipb files with WordPad or similar applications.)
This is the detailed explanation of each field:
ISP code|country code|TAPI country id|area code|phone|city|region|
unique POP id|script file|username prefix|username suffix|flags|price
First, you will first need to identify the city/state (field 6 & 7) you want
to dial into, the POP number (field 3, 4, 5), the prefix to insert in front
of the username (field 10), and the script to run after the modem negotiates
(field 9). If the prefix and script fields are blank, then they are not required
to access that number.
For example, to connect to the above location from within Algiers, dial 741200.
After modem picks up, run through the contents of the sci-w95.scp script and
enter in S104408/username@domain with password when called upon to do so by
the script.
Once again, this manual way of connection is not easy.
You should first try the iPassConnect PDA software linked above.
