Yes, you can have four concurrent, BUT you have to have a delay of TWO
SECONDS when ESTABLISHING them.

When you telnet to the pm there is a window of about 2 seconds during
which the pm is refusing other telnet connections.

I can't be the only one who has noticed this, it's been doing this at
least since 3.0.1 (the first pm that I used).

This is visible when you use a tool like pmwho from cron on two different
machines that have the clocks set identically. In one script I have put a
delay before calling the pmwho and all the connect problems were gone.

The reason this bothers me is if the ComOS has problem with establishing
two connection to telnet (AT THE SAME TIME) what other ports are blocked
for this long that I don't see.
