On average what is the ratio of helpdesk to users(active/concurrent)?

Right now we have almost 2500 users, but peak at about 250 on at any one
time.  And while I am the Only "official" tech support, we actually have
about 3 people who answer questions.  I do the tech support, the other 2
mostly answer Accounting questions about the software




670,616,629 mph.  Its not just a good idea, its the law.

No no, we don't use os/2 here! :) We just have 5 help
desk personnel, but 55 IT people take their calls from
the help desk software, so 60 total users of the
software supporting 2,000 users. (wasn't sure how some
vendors may license their product)
