Of course there are no figures.  You could probably get more than
4 players going on a P/90.  There arent all that many computers
faster than a P/90, and they were talking like 16 players...
see the fingerhelp file... I think it said you could run 
A LOT .  Besides, they said it would run better if you had

28.8 acceptable ?  Hehe.. You could easily play a 4 player game over
28.8.
Good luck finding other ISDN people to dial-up.
Hey, tell her, if we get ISDN me might as well just run a FibOp
