 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sorry to let you down, but "available in May" and "it would support" are
clearly incompatible with "there is NOW".  We all know about "product
announcements" and actual release dates. [Remember AMIC? and AMIC BBS, which
were supposed to be available 14 months ago?] The truth is that there are
a few software developers working on multi-serial BBS programs. NONE, I
repeat, NONE are available NOW.  Since all these developments were started 
from the availability of the ASDG cards, nobody clearly has an edge on 
anybody else.
