I'm toying with the possibility of setting up a product support bbs (no, the
product isn't out yet).  Being an eternal optimist (I still use Atari stuff,
don't I?), I'm curious about how I'd go to multiple lines if that was necessary.
It seems like a question that might be asked fairly often.  So given ST rather
than Mega E or TT hardware, is there a good way to set up a multi-line BBS?
The best IBM PC multi-lines seem to use multiple networked machines.  Is a
suitable networking product available in the US?  Is there a good way to get
multiple serial ports on an ST?
