Telnet is used only between machines inside my
Shorewalled network.

With my clunky old hardware, telnet from Heaviside
to Joule or Dalton opens in about 1 s. ssh requires
about 15 s. Please don't tell me to get faster
computers unless citing a specific liability from
Shorewall.
Does anyone out there have a network with at least
one machine running Squeeze? Would be nice to to
confirm the failure or hear of a successful connection.
Thanks, ... Peter E.
