connection limits

[Net Llama!]

AFAIK, there is no system wide hard limit.  The limitations are usually
based around the specific server being accessed, and the overall pool of
system resources.

I wouldnt' be at all surprised if dnews allows you to set a limit on the
number of simultaneous connections.
