I'll have to dig it back out of the pile and look. IIRC it was either three or 
five. I mentioned it at my last Unix club meeting and Fearless Leader began 
salivating. He's ressurecting a Burroughs B-20 mini-frame and may bring back 
Springfield's first ever multi-line dial-up BBS that he wrote in 1981.  Bv)=

TBH - it probably won't happen unless he can update the arcnet to ethernet and
whore-up a method for telnet access rather that exclusively dial-up modems. But 
it was fun to speculate about at the meeting, And it sure used up a lot of 
pizza and beverage.
