Let me put it this way, we have almost 500 users, and we frequently have
over 230 of them logged on and doing things. All applications software is
one a single server. We have had slowdowns due the 16 meg not being enough
cache RAM. We expect our SystemPro 486/33 with 40 meg of RAM to fix that.

Basicly, I'd say it can handle more people than you can connect... We are
pretty heavy into dBase, Quattro, etc. And have upwards of 30 people in
one of these simultaneously. It works.
