I have used primarily PC/Forth and UR/Forth from Laboratory Microsystems, Inc.
on the PC.  They have a nice BBS describing there products and lots of other
things.  The BBS number is (213)306-3530, 2400 Baud (or less), 8 bits, no 
parity, 1 stop.  I also use their Metacompiler to compile ROMed applications 
for the 80x86, z80, and Hitachi 64180 microprocessors using the PC as the host
development system.

LMI's UR/Forth has a pretty nice multitasker (with semaphores, timers, etc.)
built in but is not multiuser.  One of the few (only?) suppliers of a
multiuser Forth for the PC is (as far as I know) polyForth by Forth, Inc.
Look for their number in EDN-type magazines.
