Is there a way to find out the total number of sockets on a system???

I tried this about 18 months ago, using a brute force algorithm, i.e. recursively create them until the create socket failed. On Windows 95, I could only create 96, but on NT I got over three hundred. As the application needed to support a maximum of 50 connections I stopped there.
