While you can fire up a shell on the Amiga serial port, its OS doesn't
currently have record-locking or multiuser permissions. Thus apps which have
several users (say, a BBS or handling several Amigas for a database) usually
just lock out entire files or whole partitions of the hard disk, to prevent
problems.
So no, I wouldn't consider it multiuser, any more than you'd call a CoCo under
RSDOS with one of those remote serial port patches multiuser.
