In my BBS I plan to go multi-user by having multiple copies of the BBS running at once, possibly after writing the code to be residentable (seemed obvious to me :-). However, I don't have a multiport board (yet) and was to have tested it by allowing console.device access as well. If different boards need different intefaces, it's probably not worth my time. -- Darren
