never drop the connection eh? Looks like you're going to need digital

Forget trying to run 4 internal modems. You wont be able to run a
standard modem. You COULD use a bus mouse, but then you've just used
up 5 internal slots!  Its a massive hassle. If you're serious about
runnig a BBS (with 4 modems or more) invest the bucks in a multiport
serial card....
