I have a rudimentary MUD server written in C# running on Windows that can handle large connection volumes, (basic testing, I've had as many as a 1000 concurrent connections each of the 6 test machines I had available to me that weekend). It doesn't actually do anything with those connections other than monitor them for a connected/read/write/disconnected state. I haven't had a chance to build this under Linux though, I've been more focused on getting Mono running under OS X.
