 I agree with your assertation that the 918DX might not make a great web
platform, but it would be quite suitable as a web development platform.

 Are you sure about the socket connection licensing?  That wasn't my
understanding at all.  I understood that the batch job to run the Web
Server would count against your user limit.  Each hit against the web
server, thus each socket connection is handled by a child process of the
batch job.

 Until very recently we ran with a 160 user limit.  With 130 terminal
sessions (NSVT), web server, web based internet applications, credit
card authorization (via sockets), client/server management tools, a
sockets based performance monitoring tool... we would have been well
over 160 sockets in use.

 Can someone from HP confirm the 1 user = 1 socket paradigm?

Thanks,
Jim
