I believe there is a hard limit of 32 simultaneous connects, that
can be raised by recompiling...

FreeBSD, of course :) Actually, as far as the 'free' OSs are
concerned, from talking to ppl in the Linux camp, Linux still does not
scale very well for "large servers". I don't know if 50 connections would
be considered "large server", but the word I hear is that Linux's
schedualer still has its problems, so doesn't do *alot* of processes
particularly well..
