Title: No user size limitations for a 3+Name Service

Q:  Is there a REAL limit to how many names the name service can
manage if the customer is using a 3Server3?  If the customer
is using a 3S401?

A:  As a practical matter, no.  3Com's network, for example, has more
than 3,900 names in its name service, with no limit in sight.
Nor is there a difference between the 3Server3 and 3S/400 in this
regard.  Any limit on the number of names is a function of disk
space rather than RAM -- though, for performance reasons, if one
wanted to handle a large number of users, it'd be a good idea to
have a dedicated name server (i.e., name being the only service.)
