If you are talking about ssh or telnet:

To go over 16 or 32, you need to create more virtual terminals.

that can be done with a command line like:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV pty0 pty1 pty2 pty3 pty4 pty5 pty6 pty7


I think that will bring you up to 256 simulanious ssh/telnet conenctions.
I have never had to go higher than that, not sure how to do it.
