I support an app that can run up to about 800 connections
simultaneously in Win2003.

It's based on Tomcat, so I think we have to up the max-connections /
threads count there.  And possibly in the registry for Windows too,
but it is not any big deal.

I don't have any reason to think we can't go higher, just have not had
the need yet.
