Jack,

These startup parameters will allow for 72 (-Mn * -Ma) Progress clients
(assuming you are client/server, and these parameters look like it) to
connect to the database. But, if you use SQL92 clients (using ODBC) it
will only allow for 12 clients to connect (-Mn) as each ODBC client will
use 1 auto server.

The -Mpb parameter is only used if you start a secondary login borker
against the database. So, the first would be something like:

proserve db-name -S <service> -Mn 23 -Ma 6 -Mi 4 -Mpb 10 -ServerType SQL

and the second login broker would be:

proserve db-name -S <service2> -Mpb 12 -Ma 6 -Mi 4 -m3 -ServerType 4GL

This setup allows 10 ODBC connections and 72 4GL connections. The -Mpb
means Max Servers per Broker. If you use multiple brokers, the -Mn on
the first broker must equal -Mpb + -Mpb + 1 (23 in my example: 10 + 12 +
1).
