If you create and open multiple instances of telnetlib.Telnet you should 
have multiple connections to the host.

Of course for this test to give meaningful results the machine running 
the test must be able to open more outgoing ports than the number of 
connections supported by the host, or you will have to use multiple 
client machines.
