On OS X, the maximum number of file descriptors is 256.  Does this
constrain the maximum number of connections for networking programming
on Mac OS X to 256 or less?

Since I'm working with Windows 2003 server for network applications, I
haven't had to worry if the above is a problem.  But I need to think
about a cross platform solution involving Mac OS X Server.

Thanks in advance

Paul
