I'm glad to hear you're using SVDM and it's working as intended for you! I
don't get a lot of feedback on that program.

SVDM was mainly/originally created for supporting *outbound* connections (e.g.
from legacy DOS terminal programs like Telix and Procomm Plus), but the
listening/answering (for incoming connection) support wasn't too hard to add,
so I did. But the way SVDM is written today, the virtual modem responds to any
secondary incoming TCP connection with the busy notice when the socket to the
DOS program is in use, you'd really need to run multiple instances with
multiple TCP ports to support a multi-line/node DOS BBS program. It'd be like
the multi-line BBSes of the 90s that used a separate phone number for each
line only in this case, you'd use a separate TCP port number.

To support mutliple lines with a single TCP port, SVDM would really need to
spawn multiple DOS programs (one for each line/node) with a dedicated TCP
socket for each and then automatically "roll-over" to the next available
socket upon incoming TCP connections. It's possible/doable, but not something
currently on my radar. If you would file a feature request at ht
ps://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues it's more likely to actually get
added at some point.
