I'm quite new at this so please bear with me....

I am thinking of setting up a multi-user Linux system with dial-in lines
(as many as 20 lines).

*What multi-port serial cards are recommended and what drivers are available?
 Is there any info on this somewhere?  The FAQ is light on in this matter...

*I know that BBS front ends are available for Unix systems.  Have any of these
 been ported to Linux?

*Lastly, is Linux suitable for this application?  As an experiment, would I
be best using Linux (as a start) and either keeping it or "upgrading" to
Solaris or SCO, or would it be better to just buy Solaris or SCO straight
out?  Personally, I think Linux could do the job.... what are your
opinions and do you know if it's been done?
