We just picked 5 out of the air. We do have machines on campus
configured to accept substancially more connections. If I were you,
I'd just play with it a bit, and see what kind of load afpd serving
your macs puts on your server. The greatest constraint I've seen, BTW,
is memory, the AFP protocol being incapable of saturating even a
relatively slow SCSI bus.
