Secondly, how do you plan on sticking 4 internals in your computer, and where did you get all these free IRQ's???? Also, alot of BBS Software has problems with irregular comm ports and irqs. If you are going to run that many nodes, I would recommend using a DigiBoard and 4 externals, or you could buy MBBS and use their modem board which is alot better than the Digiboard... Just my oppinion though... :) Chris St.Amand
