Two things come to mind:
 - the iptables filtering HOWTO only lists a "limit" match
 - you should specify the chain before anything else and the matching 
rules last as a block.

Try:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 23 -j DROP -m iplimit --iplimit-above 3

As I see it, iptables parses the command parameters in a nontrivial 
order. see the manpage for further info.
