	Would somebody mind giving me some info, insight, or comments
	on their experiences in setting up a communications server.

	By communications server, I mean a server that accepts multiple
	incoming calls and provides some type of service to the calling
	client - yea, like a BBS, only a little more automated.

	The info I would appreciate includes what kind of hardware and
	operating system to use.  Currently, I have plans for either
	a DOS or OS/2 server.  DOS is obviously limited because of the
	hassels of supporting more than 2 ports.  OS/2 is obviously
	the best alternative, but will cost more.

	I would also appreciate info on the modem configurations.  Should
	I use a multiport board ?  Which one ?

	Any related info would be appreciated.

	Thanks...Regards |(8>
