I use telnet to program some of the VSAT modems I work with. Had to copy it from my one of my XP installs in order to have it on my Vista laptop.

Granted, without a really good reason to use it on a completely isolated network, anyone who runs a telnet daemon deserves to be strung up over a vat of boiling oil and slowly lowered into it. You can watch Star Wars in ASCII art over Telnet.

Okay, have they learned some lessons from Linux? ;)

I sometimes use telnet for troubleshooting email servers, connecting to port 25 to work with Postfix.yup. exactly. The telnet client is an extremely useful troubleshooting tool. This is one of the reasons I'm trying to find out if rumors of it's demise in Vista are premature.

Oh, gotcha. I missed that. I wonder why the heck they would compare source code size. Must never have built the new one yet, I guess.

I've a question for whoever out there might be unlucky enough to be burdened with the MS-Vista OS. Did Microsoft really remove the telnet program? Presenting a command shell via telnet is reckless. On the other hand, telnet is just fine for some low-security purposes like retro-BBS games. Sure the passwords are sent in the clear, but that's true of 90% of web passwords anyway (well, the latter are base64 encoded, but may as well be in the clear).
