As I remember there are two things you need to do:

(a) in NMMGR, go to the screen NETXPORT.GPROT.TCP and update the
'maximum number of connections' entry. You will need to call NETCONTROL
UPDATE;NET=network name (e.g. LAN1) for this to take effect. I don't
remember when we did this if we did it during the day or if it affected
users currently logged on;

(b) when this has taken effect, call NSCONTROL SERVER=VTSERVER,0,new-max
(1200 in our case).

One thing to watch out for is that the system reverts to the 300 default
limit after every reboot, so you will need to do this (the NSCONTROL
SERVER=..... command that is) each time the system is rebooted. This
can't be in SYSSTART, so you will need to amend the job which you
probably stream from SYSSTART to add this call.

The relevant NMMGR screeen is below, you can reach it by Open
Config/NS/Unguided/Netxport/Gprot/TCP.

Best of luck.

Chris.
