[MUD-Dev] Question regarding Java threads

["Jon A. Lambert" <jlsysinc#ix,netcom.com>]

A bit back we we discussing the upper limits of Java threads on 
various platforms.   Much of the concern, especially in regard to 
Java, was the one thread per connection issue.  Can anyone comment on 
the following hardware(?) issue raised here?

By the way, your P2-233 will choke with 200 active users.  Interrupt
overflow from the NIC.  You could solve this problem with a $500 NIC
that doesn't interrupt the CPU as much(has its own processor,) but
then you'll have to ban char mode telnet outright and do some other
unfriendly things too, and I just don't know that you're going to find
200 simultaneous players anyway; few muds do, so unless you become one
of them, it isn't worth the time, money, and effort to prepare for:)
