FreeBSD is a UNIX-style operating system, so multi-user is a basic part of
the system.
Web and such is pretty slow over dialup to begin with.
FreeBSD supports the following serial multiport boards:
AST 4 port serial card using shared IRQ.
ARNET 8 port serial card using shared IRQ.
BOCA IOAT66 6 port serial card using shared IRQ.
BOCA 2016 16 port serial card using shared IRQ.
Cyclades Cyclom-y Serial Board.
STB 4 port card using shared IRQ.
SDL Communications Riscom/8 Serial Board.
Digiboard Sync/570i high-speed sync serial card.
This is from the FreeBSD handbook, section 2.1.3, Supported Configurations
/ Misc. Devices. The handbook is available from
