In Toronto, Ontario, the LOGIC users group BBS used to have two lines
and was run on three Apple IIe computers.

I'm not entirely sure on the details but I think it was using a Corvus
network of some kind with one IIe controlling the hard drive and the
other two controlling a modem connectted to each of the BBS phone
lines.

They replaced it with a Mac BBS a number of years ago.
