PIPEX Dial Global Roaming Checklist

In order to make your Internet access while overseas as trouble free as possible, we have compiled the following list of points for the PIPEX Dial Global Roaming service which may be useful. We recommend you print these out before you leave and take them with you.

  1. Note the access numbers for any International PoPs that you may wish to use. (We suggest you have some alternatives to any single main number you plan to use.) Check the numbers immediately before you travel in case there have been any changes.

  2. You need to edit the name of the "SMTP server" used by your e-mail program when you roam between countries. The default entry that you should see in your software is "smtp.dial.pipex.com".

    Change this to smtp.country code.uudial.com where country code is the two letter code shown against each country in the International PoPs list. For example:

    In Germany, the "SMTP Server" entry in your e-mail program should read:

    smtp.de.uudial.com

    When you return to the UK, edit the entry to read:

    smtp.dial.pipex.com
  3. Check that you can successfully log-in to the UK network before you travel, to verify the correct set-up of your computer. You may also wish to consider making a very quick international call to the UUNET PoP that you plan to use.

  4. Take the instruction manual and technical support number for your modem with you.

  5. Take your Operating System installation CD, e.g. Windows 95, Windows NT, etc (it may be necessary to install new drivers).

  6. The PIPEX Dial Technical support number can be reached internationally on +44 541 506066. UK Support hours for this service are Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm.
