Well, I am running a 7 node Hermes system on my Mac.  I support both Telebit
and HST/DS modems.  We pioneered the use of the Creative Solutions multiport
Nubus card and it is easy to add additional nodes now, as both the CSI card
and Hermes support the Mac Comm Toolbox.  And the CSI card is not that
expensive either.
