About the Multi-Tech BBS
For customers who do not have Internet access, Multi-Tech maintains a

and problem-solving tips. The phone number for the Multi-Tech BBS is
(612) 785-3702 (international or local) or (800) 392-2432 (USA and Canada).
You can access Multi-Tech’s BBS with any asynchronous modem
