You can set max_connections higher, and unless your shared-buffer settings are 
very low that should be fine.

Where you may encounter problems is if the Access users have open transactions 
which can end up blocking other clients. I seem to recall a timeout option in 
the ODBC manager that should disconnect them after a certain time.
