Well, first of all I really enjoy using USR Sportsters.. They give
awesome CPS rate.  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... :)
