Yes, and forwarded his response to you. He stated that BBBS is hardcoded to 
wait 4 minutes at the login prompt before closing the node.

Here my IP log shows BBBS spawning multiple telnet nodes with all showing the
same source IP. Per a suggestion from Kim. I am running two seperate BBBS
daemons. One for HTTPD, FTPD, and RAW/BINKP and a seperate daemon for TELNETD.
As in "bbbs 2 2 telnetd:23". That should only make node #2 available for telnet
use. Leaving any other available nodes unavilable for telnet use. I also
inquired about upgrading to 20 nodes.  Gots the upgrade app already filled
out and ready to be emailed to Kim. Sadly upgrading doesn't solve the problem.
It just makes for more available nodes. But may lessen the impact somewhat. We
shall see I guess.

I am currently running Windows 2003 and BBBS v4.10 Dada-1 here but am looking
to switch over to Ubuntu in the near future.
