- This may not be the board for this, & this is kind of a simple question,
- but: I am thinking of setting up a multi-line BBS, and it occurs to me
- that since the ibm COM ports only have 2 IRQs available, how could one
- have more than 2 modems in use at once?
-
- Certainly regular DOS isn't multi-user/tasking so I'm thinking Unix as
- the OS, but what be needed...?? is it simply a matter of drivers? A multi-
- serial port board? Any info appreciated.
