Assuming outgoing, 1 per client. If you run say a cisco client to
destination A and a nortel 1 to destination B, then in networlk
connections you add as many other VPN connections you need or other
clients.

Practical issues like performance may have an effect and trying to
remember all the different connections you have open.

as run out.

There are microsoft specific server newsgroups you could ask in.

Try www.google.com , there are as usual bound to be lots of info.
