We analyze the potential of the e+e^\ensuremath- linear colliders, operating in the e\ensuremathγ and \ensuremathγ\ensuremathγ modes, to probe anomalous quartic vector-boson interactions through the multiple production of W's and Z's. We examine all SU(2)L\ensuremath\bigotimesU(1)Y chiral operators of order p4 that lead to new four-gauge-boson interactions but do not alter trilinear vertices. We show that the e\ensuremathγ and \ensuremathγ\ensuremathγ modes are able not only to establish the existence of a strongly interacting symmetry breaking sector but also to probe for anomalous quartic couplings of the order of 10^\ensuremath-2 at 90% C.L. Moreover, the information gathered in the e\ensuremathγ mode can be used to reduce the ambiguities of the e+e^\ensuremath- mode.
