What your referring to is making one physical circuit look like multiple
virtual circuits, aka networking. For PCs and minicomputers that is
possible between each other but, not as a computer to phone line
interface(caveats exist). For phone modems sharing it between phone lines
is not an option.
For BBSing you need one modem and one phone line for every user you wish to
have on line at the same time. The modems do not have to be the same speed
and even slow ones can eb useful.

How many computer collectors does it take to change a light bulb?
Forty.
One to change the light bulb and thirty-nine to chat about how good the old
one was.
Yours in good faith.

Okay, I'll get you the motherboard ASAP, and computers DON'T make mistakes;
programmers do.
>Glad to take it!
I'll ship the 486/33 processor to you, but if it is alright, can I have a
slightly higher discount on shiping on which ever computer I end up taking?
I don't know how much the 486/66 processor w/board w/16 MB RAM is worth,
you could tell me, and then whatever you think the 486/33 is worth. But
remember, the 33 is a SX, so it has no math processor. The 66 is a DX2.

Well, I'm not sure which I'll take, but I don't really need the Apple II C,
maybe the Commodore 64, or the VIC 20.
I have a TV screen, I even have one in the guest

How much does the Commodore 64 or the VIC-20 weigh? (That might make a
difference in what I chose.), but it'll probably be the VIC 20. I have a
friend who might buy the C64 from you. In your next e-mail, tell me how
much you would sell the C64 for, so I can tell him.
Thanks again,

Do you know where I can get any of this software? Also, I need to know
how to rig it up so that I can get nultiple connections over one phone line

At least, it lives as far as I can tell. ;-) If Tom Jennings did indeed
'pull the plug,' I've seen no indication of it whatsoever at my end. If
anything, traffic on the echos I carry is higher than normal.
To answer an earlier question about hardware; my DOS-based BBS has been
running very happily, since 1990, on a 386DX-40 (AMD processor, of course!)
and 8 MB RAM. I use RemoteAccess 2.01 for the base BBS package, Portal of
Power 0.62 for the front-end mailer, and FastEcho for the mail processor.
Scott Samet's XLAXNODE handles my weekly nodelist compilation.
The system has been extremely trouble-free, and has been pretty much
self-maintaining since 1994. The only things I need to do with it are to
pick up my mail every week and check for new users every so often.
As long as I continue to see a NODEDIFF each week, and as long as I
continue to pay dues to my local group for echo traffic, I will assume that
FidoNet still lives.
