          RE:    S-8 Legal Opinion

Dear Sirs:

In connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, (the "Registration Statement") for the purpose of registering
1,000,000 shares of Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. (the "Company") common stock,
par value $.001 (the "Common Stock") to be issued under the Multi-Tech
Systems Consultant and Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company December 3, 2002, I have examined
the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as amended, the
approval of the Plan and such other documents of the Company as I have
deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of my opinion expressed
herein.  In the foregoing examination, I have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Common
Stock, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of
the Plan, will be legally issued, validly outstanding, fully paid, and non
assessable.

I hereby consent to the filing of a copy of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement.  I also consent to the use of my name and the
making of statements with respect to myself in the Registration Statement
constituting a part thereof.

Sincerely,

/s/
