FreeBSD is being used on cdrom.com's machines and can/has supported 200 ftp sessions on a T1 simulataneously (however T1/200 isn't that much bandwidth per user.) FreeBSD is also being used in some timesharing applications with over 20 users (and probably bigger installations than that.) John dyson@implode.root.com
