   The limitations in Windows XP is not a BBBS issue, but a network limitation   
   built into XP. Appache will have the exact same issue, and will even "eat"   
   from the 10 user limitation if it runs on the same box as BBBS. Keep in mind   
   that if you are connectet to BBBS with the web interface, and tries to start   
   an ftp session, a new network connection is required in addition to the http   
   connection, so in essence a web connection from BBBS requiring an ftp   
   connection, will take 2 out of you 10 connections. And then you have other   
   system connecting to the same box? It does not add up Rudi. You will run out   
   of network capacity on your XP box.   
      
   Go to Windows Server or Linux, and you may find a better solution for ANY type   
   of BBS or web/ftp system.   
   A Windows workstation (NT, 2000, XP. 7 or 8) with limited network capacity   
   will never go well with running a BBS system or a public web/ftp server.   
      
   good luck
