useing the directplay link commands(like startnetgame,createnetplayer) is there a limit to how many players it can handle?

If i remember well, accordingly to dx7 sdk, it's up to 64 players simultaneously.

Doesn't matter as DirectPlay is crap(Even Microsoft itself has abandoned it). Use UDP or TCP instead.
