The Multi-Tech BBS

For customers who do not have Internet access, Multi-Tech maintains a bulletin board system (BBS) that mirrors its FTP site. Information available from the BBS includes new product information, product upgrade files, and problem-solving tips. The phone number for the Multi-Tech BBS is (800) 392-2432 (USA and Canada) or (612) 785-3702 (international and local).

The BBS can be accessed by any asynchronous modem operating at 1200 bps to 33,600 bps at a setting of 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8-N-1).
