I guess you mean kernel 2.4.7, Debian never used kernel 2.4.9 - that was
Red Hat. :-)

Please note that the guest names need to be sepatared by colons (":") and
not commas (","), e.g. "modprobe netiucv iucv=tcpip:linux1:linux2". Does
this works for you? If not, please tell us the exact command line and
the contents of /etc/modules.conf.

There's a limit, it was around 80 connections with eralier 2.4.7 kernels
but this limit was then raised to over 200. I have tested IUCV with more
than 150 connections and it worked fine.
