For any modern PC hardware, eight simultaneous telnet sessions is an
insignificant load.

It's hard to imagine how they could load the box enough to notice
unless they all decided to run some cpu-intensive task, like compiling
a large software package, at the same time. I'll bet you can't do
enough stuff in perl to load the box with only eight users.
Get a decent telnet client for the NT boxes. Someone has already
mentioned TeraTerm.
