As a tool: The telnet client yes, but not the server that has been the only option for years on MS for low bandwidth connections. Telnet is about the best first line tool there is for trouble shooting smtp problems.Yup. It's only remaining use is as a tool for troubleshooting network problems. I still can't believe the dearth of tools that come with ms-windows.

Well Im sure they will be keeping the client on the system but it will be nice for them to join everyone else in the 21st century by switching to an encrypted terminal interface..
