http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ (hmm, I appear to
have that memorized - I end up grabbing it any time I'm at a public
Windows-based Internet terminal).
For what it's worth, I discovered entirely by accident that if you
install telnetd-ssl then the telnet client in Windows 98 and above will
connect to it and seamlessly do SSL negotiation, while of course
non-SSL-capable telnet clients will still be able to connect insecurely.
