I dunno. 

You probably need a Maximus/2 SysOp to answer.

You could review the following in Max.doc:

             *  Under OS/2, ensure that the mcp.exe program is in the main
                \max directory or somewhere else on your PATH statement.

             MCP Pipe 

        OS/2    The  parameter specifies the pipe name to use for
       only!    the MCP server process. The -a command line parameter can
                be used to override this value.

             MCP Sessions 

        OS/2    This keyword sets an upper limit on the maximum number of
       only!    Maximus sessions that will be running at the same time.
                Maximus passes this information to MCP when it starts up.
                (MCP uses  to determine how many named pipes to cre-
                ate.)
