Hello: I have my firewall blocking port 23 (telnet), but allowing port 22 (SSH) to go through. Now, this causes _SOME_ inconveniene when connecting from crappy windows machines without a SSH client on them. My question, then, is how strong is SSH? Is it worth the extra trouble to not allow telnet? I know I will get the typical "NEVER use telnet," so I would like some figures as to how unbreakable SSH is.
