How do I setup Nationwide Access?
For those customers who have had MetaLINK dial-up service in the past and now want to use nationwide access, there may be some additional settings that need to be changed. You can change to nationwide access by either running the MetaLINK CD v.7.0 (and put in your new location information) or to do the following steps.

If you experience any problems with this setup or have other questions please do not hesitate to call us at 1-888-999-8002.

**THESE SETTINGS ARE FOR NATIONWIDE ACCESS ONLY**
To change your dial-up settings
