company An Internet provider, part of the Unipalm Group.

PIPEX launched their Internet service in March 1992, and by

November 1993 provided Internet service to 150 customer sites

in the UK. Each site is either a complete commercial company

or a branch of one, or a public-sector organisation. They

provide a commercial internetworking service, with 24-hour

support, and a resilient backbone with multiple international

links. PIPEX provides for individual users through their

"PIPEX Dial" service, and has a number of re-sellers connected

to its backbone, including CityScape, Direct Connection

and the IBM PC User Group, who also offer such services.
