Just about any multitasking system will allow this (e.g. MicroRTX or MiNT).
Minix will too, and in fact is probably the best choice for it (since it
has a login procedure and security built in). However, minix does not run
TOS programs, only minix ones. (I presume OS/9 would be in a similar
situation).
