No, sorry.  That is incorrect.  WWIV is not a multi-line system at this point.

What has happened is the 4.21a has been released.  This new version makes it
much easier for WWIV nodes to run more than one network on their systems and
allows internetworking to proceed without going around the software.  If you
were running WWIV under DESQView or some other memory partitioner, now your
two nodes will talk to each other more easily.

WWIV is not, repeat NOT multi-line as yet.
