- I don't think so. I remember a 386SX supporting 4 HST modems all
- locked at 19200 baud -- pumping 1700 cps using 4 copies of Binkley
- at one time -- and that was a couple of years ago with QEMM 5.X
- (or was it 4.X)..

- But UNIX is the only solution that supports a bunch of lines -
- with the ability to support the spawing of external third party
- applications. If someone is happy with the limitations of TBBS
- under DOS, then fine -- but they should be made aware of the fact
- that there are operating systems and installations which can provide
- a well rounded solution.
