Once upon a time mark shaped the electrons to say...
>Hi, our PM3 is running 3.7.2 and seems to deny telnet access sometimes.
>We have to go in via PM Console and reboot to regain our telnet access.

PMs allow a max of 4 concurrent telnet connections to the console.
If you disconnect improperly it can ghost a process. Once all 4 are used
no more will connect.

You can login as !root (over a serial port or dialin if necessary) and
'show netconn'. Connections to port 23 (unless you changed it) are telnets.
You can reset ghosts by taking the number from the 'Hnd' column and
'reset n#'
