The lightest [ital CP]-even Higgs boson [ital h] in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) has a mass upper bound depending on the top quark and squark masses. An [ital e][sup +][ital e[minus]] collider with enough energy and luminosity to produce [ital h]+[ital Z] at measurable rates up to the maximum [ital h] mass would cover the entire MSSM parameter space if [ital h]+[ital A] production was also searched for. We explore the energy and/or luminosity needed for various top quark and squark masses. For [ital m][sub [ital t]]=150 GeV and a 1 TeV supersymmetric mass scale, a 230 GeV collider with 10 fb[sup [minus]1] luminosity would suffice, based on [ital e][sup +][ital e[minus]][r arrow][ital hZ],[ital hA][r arrow][tau][tau][ital jj] signals. With future [ital b] tagging, other channels will contribute important additional signals and the luminosity requirements will be lowered by up to an order of magnitude.
