- It depends on what they want to do, and what an acceptable response
time is. You'll need to add more entries in /dev/tty, I think the
current default is 16 tty's available. Remote logins are usually
memory cheap, if they're just doing ascii stuff in a terminal,(i.e.
unix mail, vi , gopher... (no emacs %-)) I'd guess that you could have
up to about 24 users comfortably with 20 megs. My rough estimate is 
be that you'd require about 8 megs for the os and Window stuff and 
be able to support one additional user for each additional 1/2 meg
of memory. If you have a >>>>POWER USER<<<< on the console, bump that
8 up to 20. 

- On a creaky '030 with 16 megs we often have up to 10 users at a time
without noticeable swapping.
