Its called ssh. Telnet is pretty much dead to me.
Yes and no.

Telnet is perhaps the internet's debugger.

While the most common use was to access a CLI Somewhere, most of the "traditional" internet protocols can be operated via telnet.

Note btw that there is no login needed to access this "joke". Just enter the address and presto.

SSH is a single use tool in comparison.
