You can masquerade an almost unlimited number of client machines.  The netmask you enter at install time defines the size of the network.  255.255.255.0 gives you 253 spare addresses which you can use for masquerading, but you can go for more if you want.  You can also have multiple class C networks and use them as local networks if you have a router.
