This question was asked at the BOF. The answer was Smalltalk clients. There is no imposed limit on the number of web clients. It is as many as the vm (gem) can handle. The idea for the free version was that one gem can serve web clients, and the other can be used for development (squeak) or system administration (topaz) or for serving clients.

Can you clarify the Max Server Processes limitation? Is this about<br>how many Smalltalk clients can connect to the server, or does it also<br>apply to web clients?<br><br>Avi<br><br>On 5/1/07, Monty Williams <<a href="mailto:monty.williams@gemstone.com">
