Is there a limit to the number of Telnet connections?

I'm considering writing an ASP.NET app that will run on a commercial
server
that runs Windows 2000 Advanced Server. This app will establish a
separate telnet
connection (over the internet) to another site for each user.

This leaves me wondering about the limits of this. I'm no expert on
winsocks, ports, or any of that sort of thing. Would it be feasible to
have
say 100 or even 300 telnet connections running off of one server?

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi Bruce,

You won't be able to use the telnet server service out of the box for this.
The version included with Windows 2000 is limited to two inbound
connections. You would need to use a add on telnet server service instead.
There is one included with our Services for Unix product or you could get a
3rd party telent server add on.
