However, telnet of itself remains a useful _client_, largely for accessing arbitrary services for testing. I would tend to support rooting out all instances of telnet _daemons_ (servers). However I don't see a great deal of harm in providing a telent client to informed users. Likely not those you'd find on a public access system. -- Karsten M.
