RE: 1 linux box: 10 simultaneous telnet sessions
Download TeraTerm Pro from any of it's many mirror's, support VT100
emulation etc. as well as an ssh implementation.
Download @ http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
Download ssh plugin @ http://www.zip.com.au/~roca/ttssh.html (just for your
information)
Configure the needed terminal sessions (set the required terminal emulation)
to support a better then telnet terminal emulation and have a try. Should
work perfectly. Main advantage of TeraTerm is that it is quite good software
and free.
I guess you could also use HyperTerminal to connect to the linux machine.
I suppose that if you're running an introduction course you might not need
more RAM to be able to run those scripts/perl simultaneously, RAM might get
consumed rather rapidly if doing some more serious tasks.

Subject: 1 linux box: 10 simultaneous telnet sessions
I'm planning on teaching a short intro to perl unit in our middle school.
I have one linux box running kernel 2.2.18pre21 on our windows NT 4.0
ethernet connected network of 9 machines. telnet version is 0.16-4potato.1
telnetd version is same
Is it feasible to have eight telnet sessions, one from each individual NT
workstation, into the one linbox?
I think telnet is not the most elegant at timesharing with this type of
load. I'm not sure if it is designed for this (clunky) application. Any
tips on optimizing the setup for this scenario?
Three students have logged in simultaneously via telnet, so I think the
basic setup is sound, but we haven't done much yet.
