The LOGIC users group in Toronto, Ontario used to have their BBS set
up that way too, although I think it was 3 Apple IIe's with only one
Corvus hard drive.  Two of the IIe's were connected to their own phone
line (a member's only line and a public line) and the third IIe acted
as the server.  They had the chat option too.  It was a pretty cool
set up but they went and replaced it with a single Mac (and a single
phone line) running a package I believe was called "Magic" that had a
GUI front end for the Mac and the text interface really sucked.
