That's another benefit to MTS. It's extremely scalable. All you have to do is add servers. But for one server, we've had up to 240 users and it ran great. The server is a dual Pentium II with half a gig of RAM and does have SQL Server running on it. The next version of MTS is supposed to support object pooling.
>2) Is there anything at all besides MTS that you have to employ to make this work adequately?
Basically, you need NT4 with SP3, and MTS installed. That's it! This is why Microsoft owns the world. ;-) For some older Win '95 client machines you might need to download the DCOM software.
"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons." - Douglas Adams
