That's exactly what I was considering... TCP/IP (telnet), not the 800 number ;)

Assuming the CoCo is fast enough to handle multiple users at the same
time, which is a question that's still on the table, how many serial
ports are possible at the same time on a CoCo, including the
bitbanger? Can a modified DC modem (converted to RS-232) co-exist with
a Tandy RS-232 pack?
