We are in need of expanding the # of open files on an SE/30 system
acting as an AppleShare server.  According to Tech Note 216, the max.
open files on an AppleShare server is 160 (Mac II-class machine, 2MB or 
more or RAM). 

In our multi-user database application, each user can easily have 30
or more files open.  Add 10-12 users, and you start getting all sort
of wild errors (File access denied, File not found, etc.)

While we are going to split applications among 2 server machines, it is
going to take a while to get an additional Mac for a server.  To stall
off problems, I need to up the limit of open files the server can handle.

Anyone with any experience in this area, I would greatly appreciate
hearing from you.  Anyone at Apple that is able to provide insight, your
comments are also welcome.

Thank you very much.
