Well, nothing 'official/commercial' as of yet, but I was over at a friend
of mines 2 weeks ago and he had HIS BBS program running with a terminal off
the Serial line, the console going as a process and  another hanging off
the Parallel line..  I am not too sure (though I believe he 'Wants one real
bad to test..') about the ASDG serial board, but if he can get 2 terminals
talking at the same time off of both the Serial AND the Parallel, I would
think this would be 'trivial' to do, if anybody wants to know more, Email
me and I shall 'pass on' your questions as I really did not pick up any
of the particulars beyond 'yes it will handle more than 1 person at a time'
and that it handles various file-transfer protocols...

Hope this helps/leads you to your answer!!!

p.s. Yes this was on an Amiga 2000 (in case you were wondering...)
