I'm gonna guess on this one... but since you can connect on any individual port, it doesn't sound to me like getty is the problem. I bet it might be that the GENERIC kernel has "maxusers" set to 10, so I don't think it would let 11 on. I can't really speak for 2.0.5, but 2.1R comes with maxusers=10 as the default. Try rebuilding your kernel, setting maxusers to at least 16, and see what happens. good luck, Jonathan
