    Mucolaca> By blocking telnet at the ISP, no one is saying you can't telnet out. A lot of places have the ISP block any incomming request to port 23. If you install an SSH server, there is NO need to have 23 open. And if you are running a box with 23 open, you are just asking for trouble.

    There are still a lot of routers and RAS servers and the like the "require" telnet if you want to get in to them remotely (ie. to admin them). Yeah... pretty much means that you get to setup a "secure" segment/vlan that only runs that sort of stuff if you want to try to make it unsnoopable (or put an ssh server in front of it with a small private net, etc).

    But telnet has other uses other than just "login" -- I'll refrain for further "useful information" in this forum, however.
