I don't remember the total number allowed, but if you look into the archives
there is at least one thread that does say something like 11 sockets. It's
has to do with sock linger settings. E.G., if you open and close and then
immediately reopen a socket, Palm OS will stop at this number of sockets.
Try looking for socket linger. If you can't find it, let me know and I will
look up the number tonight (EDT).
