  Actually, it's dependent on the number of DDP sockets that can be opened
to the server.  So you can get up to 50 users on a Mac II based server.
(Fewer if you have other network applications that use DDP sockets running
on the server.)

  The RAM cache can increase the performance of the server dramatically...

  Just picking nits while I'm waiting for my ride to lunch...  :)
