Why does this support telnet? Just seems crazy to me. Is it on by default? That would be a violation of any sane security policy pretty much anywhere. Seems like a serious edge case requirement and odd to bundle with SSH. This is like buying a new car but then having the dealer give you a free horse with your purchase.

Telnet has the unique advantage of having an implementation for the opposite part on any TCP/IP compatible system without external libraries, crypto etc. and that you can recreate both a server and a client in literally an hour with nothing but a C compiler and an ordinary libc.
