I'll have to dig it back out of the pile and look. IIRC it was either three
or five. I mentioned it at my last Unix club meeting and Fearless Leader
began salivating. He's ressurecting a Burroughs B-20 mini-frame and may
bring back Springfield's first ever multi-line dial-up BBS that he wrote in
1981.  Bv)=

TBH - it probably won't happen unless he can update the arcnet to ethernet and
whore-up a method for telnet access rather that exclusively dial-up modems.
But it was fun to speculate about at the meeting, And it sure used up a lot
of pizza and beverage.
