if you know hardware hacking you could hookup a few 6552's to the system (read 
charlie hughs multi-PIA upgrade and base it off that....if you are making your own software then you could get two or three 800's link them thru joystick 3 and use 0-2 for a MPP/Supra modems in the 1000e series (foud for $10-$20 each...) 
this would be a good for 300 baud only tho'....another thing if you have a little 
cash is find a multi-serial card that hooks to the SCSI interface and get a black box or a MI/O (but you would need a company that would give the info for 
interfacing for it)
