I have a question regarding setting up a Multi-User Database BBS. I would like to have a system which could allow a number of users, (say 10) to call one number and access a computer database system. Currently, I understand that I can get a hunt group phone service from the phone company, which will allow the users to call one number to access this BBS. I was also informed that I will need to get one modem for every telephone line. Is there any modem available that will handle more than one phone line (reducing cost)? The maximum baud rate that I plan on supporting will be 2400, is there anyway to determine how many computers will be needed to support my application? If I need more than one computer to service these users, what is the best way to network these computers together. I will be setting up a database system which should allow users to search on key items of interest to them. What is a good software package to support multi-users allowing easy search capabilities and how will this look when someone calls through a modem? Your help is needed since I have just started to learn about setting up a system like this. Comments can be mailed to: "thweatt@whitefish.rtsg.mot.com" or reply to this post. Thank you, John Thweatt
