Maximum number of concurrent users logged on via telnet or ssh? I have read that the kernel by default only allocates 256 TTY's... so you could theoretically have 256 sessions going at one time depending on your RAM. The nice thing about Linux is, of course, that you can recompile the kernel to adust this number higher or lower.

As far as simultaneous network connections to things such as Samba, NFS, etc, the only limitation is hardware. There is no hard-coded licensing limit as Microsoft has in some of their products.

Not sure if that's what you're getting at... a search on groups.google.com may glean a bit more useful information for you.
