And for each connction how many tasks is the single user (or istance)aloud to do????

There is no per-user limit of TCP connections.

But, if you're spawning off a process for each TCP connection, then you
will run into the maxproc limut for that user, which effectively limits
the number of TCP connections.

Can you clarify?
