I was not considering the bandwidth limitations.  Obviously, you are
limited to the 11Mbit/sec. speed of the WiFi card.  I was thinking more
about how many simultaneous clients HostAP can handle itself.

Thanks again,

depending on what the client is doing....  if one client decides to
download some MP3 or stream some video... you are pretty much limited by
that...
