(PM) Telnet sessions

We have noticed on our portmasters that if 4 telnet sessions are opened up
for !root, a 5th session cannot be opened, an error message saying
"telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused" shows up.
Is it possible to increase the maximum ammount of telnet sessions to a
portmaster? We are running a program that telnets to the portmaster to
poll the information of users logged in for further processing, and if
there are already 4 sessions opened up, it makes the polled information
inaccurate. It would be nice if I could open up a telnet socket on
another port so that the program would have dedicated access to the
specified telnet port so this wouldnt be a problem anymore. I'm sure
other people have the same problem, so if the all-mighty and knowing
portmaster users list has an answer to this, my life would be bliss.

Thanks,
Elijah Ethun
