That's the marketing answer :-)  The technical answer is that the older
DTC48 TAC has a "hard" limit of 40 sessions and the newer TAC has a
"hard" limit of 80.  Exceed those numbers and you get "connection
refused".  This may be a software/firmware/whatever limitation, but it
is a brick wall, regardless of your performance otherwise.

Ummm... doesn't 5.5 allow host-based management of a TAC?
