I am not very sure on this. But pty is an old method, it is static and you need to create every node. While pts is dynamic, the devpts fs creates them on the fly in /dev/pts directory. Please search to find the difference between them. I guess it should be possible to limit the number of telnet session, but I don't know how myself. The better way is to look at the source.

The login shell/program is usually defined in /etc/passwd. Please check the login utils source in busybox.
