It really depends on the capacity of the server, the types of devices used to connect the dial lines to the server and the types of applications being used on the server. A theoretical example, a high-end RAS device could create a server configuration where a few hundred dial up lines could be serviced by one server. Is this practical? It depends. Realistically you need to tell us: The server's hardware configuration, What type of devices the serial lines will be connected to, How many serial lines will be connected, and what type of activities the dial up user's will be doing -- Linux/Open Source: Your infrastructure belongs to you, free, forever.
