microsoft's "official" position seems to be that you're not allowed to know. there's no defined way to know the "real" limit without stress-testing.

however, the "real" limit on listen queues under NT is as follows:

NT 3.5 : 100 NT 3.51 : 100 NT 4.0 (wks) : 5 NT 4.0 (srv) : 200

i don't know what the limits are for 95/98, but win CE (!) has a backlog of 5 over serial, and 2 over IR.

asking for a queue larger than the size shown will set the queue to its maximum.

Can NT not handle a listen queue greater than 1?

I'm drawing a blank... Either NT ignores the listen queue size, or at one point it (or more likely win95) would throw an exception.
