This discussion is useless. I had disabled telnet for years, but I switched it back on when I happened to _sometimes_ do minimal administrative things on the router when I'm in windows, e.g. getting up the PPP line to my ISP. The amount of time to search/install a windows-ssh client is MUCH bigger than its use. Of course I don't miss telnet, since ssh provides such neat things as public.keys, that you can add to your authorized_keys and other nice stuff. But that's not important here.
