Ok, I tried two simultaneous telnet's and got in on one.  Also:

dsl1#show line vty 1
    Tty Typ     Tx/Rx    A Modem  Roty AccO AccI   Uses   Noise  Overruns   Int
      3 VTY              -    -      -    -    -     44       0     0/0       -

Line 3, Location: "", Type: ""
Length: 24 lines, Width: 80 columns
Baud rate (TX/RX) is 9600/9600
Status: Ready, No Exit Banner, Control-c Typed, Ctrl-c Enabled
Capabilities: none
Modem state: Ready

So, it looks like we are being bitten with the ctrl-c "bug" all of a sudden 
(this hasn't been a problem until recently, and its been running for several 
months with this IOS).  Is this problem caused by the previous person that 
connected to that vty using Ctrl-C at some point?

Is there a way just to disable the affected vty line or some other workaround? 
This bug is hosing our ability to auto-provision DSL customers..
