Actually, default on all cisco boxes is 5. line vty 04.  You actually have to light up the other 10 by adding the line vty 515.  Example below...  Hope this helps.  I'd put the Todd Laramie book down.  WAY to many discrepancies in the 2 books, I've had this debate with many...

 

(default)

line vty 04 access-class 147 in exec-timeout 300 password 7 xxxxx

(add)

conf t

line vty 515 access-class 147 in password 7 xxxxxx

By default you can't talent the router so you have to configure your device to accept telnet and you can specify the needed VTY lines which will indicate to you the simultaneous telnet sessions and the maximum telnet session is varying from one device to another based on the hardware and software capabilities.
