At least 13 i found.

i found 16 different ones
the answer is definitely infinite. it states nowhere that you have to follow the lines. therefore, on a two-dimensional plane, there are endless possibilities.
I found 15 of the bat, but I'm sure there's more, and that's assuming you must follow a line, other wise the other person is correct that there are indeed infinite.
well there is really only one logical way to get to point b from point a and that is straight down the middle. I mean there are no obsticles along that path so why would you bother taking any other way it would just be a waste of time.
I got to 21 then forgot where I had been already.

sorry - 37.
49 now.
Can't be bothered any more.
well
concidering
its an ugly picture
i didn't try
i agree with the last guy who commented =] ...
I got 29 before I started overlapping. Although to be fair that was 14 and then I kept finding more so I imagine I'll have missed a few.
Here are my anwers:

1 A-B
2 A-C-F-B

5 A-H-I-B
6 A-C-F-J-G-B
7 A-G-J-F-C-B
8 A-F-C-G-J-B
9 A-J-G-C-F-B
10 A-D-E-I-H-B
11 A-H-I-E-D-B
12 A-E-D-H-I-B
13 A-I-H-D-E-B
14 A-D-E-F-C-G-J-B
15 A-D-E-J-G-C-F-B
16 A-H-I-F-C-G-J-B
17 A-H-I-J-G-C-F-B
18 A-D-E-I-H-F-C-G-J-B
19 A-D-E-I-H-J-G-C-F-B
20 A-H-I-E-D-F-C-G-J-B
21 A-H-I-E-D-J-G-C-F-B
22 A-C-F-J-G-D-E-B
23 A-C-F-J-G-H-I-B
24 A-C-F-J-G-D-E-I-H-B
25 A-C-F-J-G-H-U-E-D-B
26 A-G-J-F-C-D-E-B
27 A-G-J-F-C-H-I-B
28 A-G-J-F-C-D-E-I-H-B
29 A-G-J-F-C-H-U-E-D-B
Oops, my formatting mucked up
A___C/_D/\E_\F___B
....G\.H\/I./J...
Hopefully you get the idea.
Doesn't "no overlaps" also mean you can't touch any POINT more than once? In that case, there's only 5 that I can see.
