I am thinking about running a BBS on a FreeBSD system using the BOCA
6 port serial card.  Will a 50Mhz 486DX2 with 24MB RAM  have the
horsepower to support 6 simultaneos users doing file transfers and 
the like?  The system will also be an Internet email relay and provide
a few other related services.

Thanks,
