About the Multi-Tech BBS
Multi-Tech Systems maintains a Bulletin Board Service (BBS) for its customers. The information
available via the BBS includes: new product information, product upgrade data, problem solving tips,
and a message service for you to leave questions for which you would like additional information. The
phone number for the Multi-Tech BBS is (612) 785-3702 or (800) 392-2432 (U.S.A. and Canada).
The BBS can be accessed by any asynchronous modem operating at speeds of 33,600 -1200 bps
with a setting of word length of 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
