  Some one told me that, in AFP, there is a theoretical maximum number of
volumes which can be "published" by a given AppleShare server, and that
that number is actually quite low.

  Is this true?  If so, it would appear to have significant implications
for multi-user systems, such as Unix systems running CAP, which want to
make available one or more volumes for each of a large number of users.

  For that matter (this is a little off topic), has anyone thought of a
good way to separate -- in the Chooser -- their main AppleShare servers
from all those little servers that will pop up when everybody starts
running System 7?
