It seems like you should be able to run more than 4 viewer sessions at
once. Using PCAnywhere, I can run about 10 sessions on a typical desktop
PC (Win2K, 800MHz CPU, 256M RAM),each connecting to a different server PC.
Before I switch from PCAnywhere to VNC, I want to know if it can do the
same. Has anyone tried starting multiple sessions? If so, how many before
you run out of resources?

You will never find the answer since there is no answer. vnc allows all you
can get. In the end, it can slow down a bit but that does not stop vnc from
working.
The number of viewers (both M$Windows or unix based) (and/or unix based
vnc-servers) on a system is (a.o.) limited by:
Used operating system
Used hardware architecture
Running other applications
Activiti of other processes
processor speed
available memory
available network bandwidth
available ports
compression settings
polling frequency (for M$Windows servers only)
display activity (for unix/X11 servers only)
geometry of vnc-server
colordepth of vnc-server
For viewers only: the max mumber of viewers is also restricted by:
geometry of local display
colordepth of local display
local video hardware
In general, I'd say the workable number of viewers on a display is about 4
open vncviewer windows. Closed viewer windows only occupy memory, the
update
of those sessions is stopped so they don't consume cpu power or network
bandwidth.
For M$Windows based vnc-servers, the number of servers is restricted to 1
(one) for the default server on default os-installation.
