	If I remember correctly the X-windows manual for AIX/RT tells you to
increase the values of  'procs' and 'kprocs'  (and maybe some others) in
/etc/master when you install X since you will be using a nimber of pty's
with X.  So I would assume that these changes may also be helpful when 
you have a large number of telnet sessions on a system.
