We have a Mac network with 10 to 15 Macs on it (it varies).  We are
using a SE with a 40MB and an 80MB hard drive running AppleShare
2.01.  After adding a couple Macs to the network recently, we have
run into what appears to be a limit on the number of files that can
be open on the server at once.

I contacted our local dealer, and they told us that we needed more
memory in our server.  We upgraded from 1MB to 2.5MB and found no
change in the number of files that can be open.  AppleShare took the
1.5MB we added, used it all for disk cashe, and will not let me
change the size of the cashe memory.

Is there a way to increase the number of files that can be opened on
the server?  Does anyone know what this limit is?

Jeff
