SecureCRT (which i proudly own and use) is a program that lets you connect to 
your server via several protocols 1 of which is telnet...but it is not secure.

Start using SSH now....it will save you a seriuos headache when your username

instead. 
ssh and telnet use the same commands so why not use it anyway.
