sounds like somebody didn't pony up for the SVT, IVT, or PCT.
When I worked for the MTO, we did a migration from 50 IBM servers to a Compaq proliant superserver, which had an ethernet/token ring bridge.
"so we have over 500 users on both networks, will the bridge hold?"
"sure!"
day of reckoning arrives, and when the 501st user logs on, the whole network dies...
"well, it should have handled 500 users, but we didn't test it".
I've been in this business too long to pass up the opportunity to draw up a thorough test plan before you even think of implementation.
