The Multi-Tech BBS
For customers who do not have Internet access, Multi-Tech Systems 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 56 Kbps at a
setting of 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8-N-1).
