OK, I stand corrected :-)  Perhaps I was thinking of switching.

If you have a "large" number of telnet users (more than one TAC can
handle), you must also make provisions for multiple telnet addresses for
multiple cards and/or telnet server/iX.  I'm toggling our DNS records
this morning trying to balance TAC and host-based telnet to handle our
load today (fee payment, late registration, start-of-semester things).
Is there a better way?  (140 users on our lowly 960 and climbing)
