The limit in NT4 Workstation is _authenticated_ connections.
Basically anything that generates a network logon on the machine
(such as remote machines connecting to file shares, DCOM servers,
RPC servers, named pipes, mailslots). Raw TCP connections don't
count.
(Try sharing a directory from an NT4 box and viewing that share
from a load of other machines. After a while you'll get "too many
connections" errors.)
An early beta (IIRC) had a hard TCP connection limit of 10, but
O'Reilly (among others) kicked up a stink and the limit was
removed.
