	Check out Apple Jam, written by Brian Sutter & Hari Wiguna of
HealthCare Communications, Inc. in 1987.  It does exactly what you're
needing to do.  Apple Jam will allow 20 users to communicate on your
AppleTalk network, and it works pretty well.  It should be available
either on sumex or MACSERVE@PUCC.BITNET.  If you can't find a copy
on either of them, let me know and I'll send you one.
