Install Winsock2, and you can use TCP/IP. It will then accept multiple
clients like a regular server.

In any case, Win9x is not a good choice for a server.
RAM requirements also depends on <page size>*<no of cache pages>, but 128MB
should be fine for running one database, and you can get away with
