If I'm not mistaken (its been quite a while), I think that the StG  
BBS (OS-9 based) could handle more than one caller if you had one of  
the 2 or 4 port rs232 cards that someone sold at one time. However,  
it has been a while and I don't recall if any of the sysops actually  
doing that mainly because of the cost of the phone lines. I believe  
that it was possible to send msgs between users (like a primitive  
chat client) if more than one user was online, although this might  
have been an add on done by one of the sysops.
