I saw a document about it.
That is;  
-----------
 PRODUCT NAME:  DIGITAL UNIX[R] Operating System,      SPD 41.61.18
                Version 4.0C  
 Number of Logins
 The following maximum number of logins are supported:
 RLOGIN:       2,048*
 Telnet:       2,048*
 LAT:          4,000*
 Note: *These numbers can vary depending on hardware configurations and
 user workloads.
---------
This document says max. # of logins by telnet is 2048.
I'm confused with your 8192 & SPD's 2048.
Is it really possible to login 8192 accounts in a Digital UNIX system
by telnet as you wrote?
