I regularly use a S/6000 with upwards of 120 users on it.  The machine
is used by IBM support staff and contractors to access a database of
APAR and "How To" question information.

You really should contact your IBM sales representative.  She will have
a collection of customers who are willing to be used as references.  I
know from discussions on IBM internal newgroups that there are customers
running over 250 users on a single machine.

DISCLAIMER: I don't speak for IBM and they don't speak for me.
