You might want to experiment with the bandwidth shaping code in the Xitami
2.5 beta.  Read up on the pipe definitions files for how to do this.
That way you can limit connections to, say, a modem-and-a-bit worth
each, or something like that.

This is 40 sockets per process.  And it's just a default setting.  You
can tell EMX to allow space for more sockets for the process at runtime
by setting an environment variable; look at the EMX documentation for
details.
