Hi,

My first thought would be to create a program that connects to your server via a telnet connect (on port 6021), which forks for each connection. When it can no longer get a connection, you have hit it's limit.

The server might drop the connection after a finite amount of time if it does not receive any data, so bear this in mind.

I may well be totally of track with this idea though.

Is there any info on some kind of limit in the servers documentation? What about the servers memory?

TIMTOWTDI.
