     Yes, replace your AppleShare server with a Mac II with 2 Meg.
The following is copied verbatim from Apple's "Q & A Stack 3.1."

Earle R. Horton


What is the maximum number of users supported by AppleShare?  Does
this number change based on the type of CPU being used for the server?

The following chart lists some current AppleShare limits (AppleShare
1.1, 2.0, and 2.01) which are based upon the chosen server platform
and memory configuration. The limits which otherwise might be present
on a workstation are still in effect and are not affected by the
workstation being logged into an AppleShare server. These limits will
change in the future.

Server machine is Macintosh Plus, SE,  or II with one Mb:          

Number of Users: 25
Number of Locked Ranges: 1000
Number of Open Files: 80
Number of Volumes: 16

Server machine is Macintosh II with more than one Mb:

Number of Users: 50
Number of Locked Ranges: 2000
Number of Open Files: 160
Number of Volumes: 16
