It is configurable from .sysdef either way you do it.
My old hack was pretty easy. It replaced the check for SB with an
check on an external int read from the .sysdef.
Two files needed the change ntserv/enter.c and ntserv/socket.c and the
reading of the external int was in sysdefaults.c I think.

I though my way maid it possible to controll it from the clientsrcfile, I
was wrong. The diffrence as I see it now are that my way allows 10 updates
but must be set from the client, startingdeafault is 5.
