	I guess I should have read the manual draft's better! The 
	manual is wrong; the gateway supports 32 sockets; the 
	FTP server supports 4 concurrent incoming FTP data sockets.
	
	You can have any combination of Telnet's FTP's SMTP's, RSHELL's,
	etc within the following rules:

		There are only 32 total sockets on the board.
		FTP SERVER SMTP SERVER, RWHOD SERRVER take one each.

		Telnet's take a single socket.
		Both FTP clients and FTP server sessions take a
		single control socket plus a second temporary data
		socket while the file is being transferred.

	What does it really mean?  Roughly 20 concurrent user's, possibly
	a few more, depending on what they are doing.

	Please refer me to the appropriate page in the doc. so I can
	fix it.
