"On the hardware front. there are some intriguing
new products for use on a BBS or a
term inal. CoCo Devices has released a communications
serial port called COMM-4 . It
supports four channels of serial I/O and can
be expanded to eight. Running under OS-9.
this would make for a very interesting eightchannel
BBS . (I don't even want to think
about the installation fees for eight new phone lines!)"
