   I meant telnet-sessions simultanously. Of course only port 23 is attached.

   I'm using sio2k. sio2k supports 256 'sessions', witch can be telnet, com-ports   
   or com emulated capi-devices. I've got one big problem with sio2k, I can't   
   register it any more.

   Ahm, i've got a special security configuration, not only because of the   
   'unclosed session bug' from sio2k

   Jap. If more than 256 connections are opend, and not properly closed, sio2k   
   does hang up the system.
