We were sort of "forced" to move to host-based telnet after we ran
above the limit of 40 sessions on our DTC TAC (or 80 depending on the
model).  At the end of our 960's life we were running 100+ host based
sessions on 5.5 (latest patches) and no obvious degradation.

If you haven't tried it lately, give it a shot.  I did have somewhat
of a bumpy introduction, especially in beta, but has matured rather
beautifully.
