One of our customers has about 3500 roadwarriors,which  reach their 
company lan via *swan gateways.
For failsafe operations they have more than one location in different 
cities connected to the internet.
No machine had to handle more than about 120 parallel users sessions, 
where the single processor machines have 1200Mhz.
There were never performance problems up to now.
