Hi,
I read somewhere (I think it was Dave N.) that using the method of
changing the BIOS comm address table (i.e. make COM1 actually reference
COM7 and then operate on COM7 using OPEN "COM1:...") will work under
multi-tasking environments (like Desqview) without interfering with
other windows.  My question is, is this how the typical multi-line BBS
operates?  I'm using PowerBASIC to write a door, and unfortunately do
not have any experience running a BBS, which is making it a lot harder.
What about multi-port boards?  I've never worked with one, and could use
any information anyone can share about them.
