   Yohan,   
      
   Did you ever figure this out? Back in the day there was a bbs called dkeep.com   
   that hosted a number of other BBS's for dkeep.com's Swords of Chaos game. At   
   least 7 separate BBSs' users would connect to the dkeep.com Swords of Chaos   
   server when the users    
   entered the game from their own BBS.   
      
   For instance, one bbs was gaianet.net. So if a user on gaianet.net entered the   
   SoC game, they would actually be entering the SoC game on dkeep.com. Dkeep.com   
   kept track of the users from different BBS's by appending a character after   
   the foreign bbs user'   
   s account name. So if user "example" from gaianet.net entered the SoC game,   
   their in-game username would be "example_K" with the "_K" denoting the user   
   was from gaianet.net.   
      
   Other BBSs had other appendages after their users' account names to   
   differentiate.   
      
   I've been trying for a long time to figure out how dkeep.com was able to setup   
   this host/guest Swords of Chaos game format. Do you think it was accomplished   
   using this DMA server you are referencing? Please let me know.
