A friend of mine ran a popular board around 1990. He had a 386/25 with
an unheard of 8 mb of RAM and ran 2 nodes under DV. He was still able to
run a local DOS session, although I don't know how much RAM he had left.

I remember being over at his house, chatting with both nodes at the same
time, switching back and forth. He was a *fast* touch typer, his 2
callers not so much.   :)
