While trying to telnet I am getting this on an H-70 running AIX 5.3, not sure whats the deal to move past this? any help would be appreciated.

Seems that all of your pseudo terminals (ptys) are in use.
Increase the number with "smitty chgpty".
Funny to see people still working with telnet in times where ssh is a standard.

Seth,

You'd be surprised how many people out there do not want internal network traffic encrypted. In fact in some places encrypting that traffic is illegal.

Because they forget their password to often? I just can't think of another use to send a password in clear text over the network. You just need a root user with a iptrace in promiscuous mode and just a grep for "password" to get it in plain text (well on windows/linux there exist programms to do just this thing). Well it might sound funny but I can't think of a place in my country where it would be illegal to encrypt server traffic.
It's just too confusing to have wide open "business" machines out there in time of "Sarbanes-Oxley Act". It's like connecting the internet without AV Software. Ok that's maybe a bit lame compare but I think a connection cannot be secure enough.
That's just my opinion.
