[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] PC MULTI-LINE BBS's

petey@zippy.acslab.umbc.edu (10/29/90)

Hi everyone,

Ive been thinking about starting multi-user BBS on a 486.
Im curious what kind of hardware is available these days to accomplish
this task.

Whats the most cost effective way to connect say, 8, 16, 32 modeems to
a single pc?

And since I want to program this BBS form scratch,
how are the modems accessed?  32 COM ports?

Any information and PRICES would be appreciated.


thanx,
