Seems I'm doing incomplete replies today...

That's in the newsserver config dialog.  And note from previous 
discussion that pan only enforces it there.  Once a config is written, a 
user can up the connections in the servers.xml config file to whatever 
they want (with pan closed while editing, of course), and pan honors the 
new value, at least until the user goes to the servers config dialog and 
saves the config again, at which point it reverts back to the GUI-
enforced maximum.
