The max number of sockets is determined by your software and its config.
That means your operating system and the MUD. Your modem has zero control
over number of sockets openable and available.
Your modem does, however, control how much data can be sent over those
sockets and how quickly. When my MUD was in its first stages, I had it at
home (worked for an ISP and had dedicated line with static IP) and people
telnetted in through my modem. I don't know how slow/fast this would be
because at that time we had, at most, two people coming in over the
modem, and I, of course, was sitting right there at the console.

Duct tape is like the force.
It has a light side, a dark side and it binds the universe together.
