This thread was discussing Corridor 7, not Descent.  But since your
question is clearly about Descent (I hope you don't think Parallax did
Corridor 7?!) I'll tackle it. 

You can have more than 4 net games active, just use the -socket option.
If you gfo to the default socket and see that its full of net games,
use -socket 1 and see who's on that one.

The limit of 4 was more to make the menu simple than any technical
limitations, but its still 4 in registered so warm up the -socket 
command!  So basically the # of net games is infinite, at least until
the point that you bring CMU's ethernet to a grinding halt.  Best of luck!
