Or the systems at work don't have ssh and
you're not the admin on those systems
SSH might work on most systems, but telnet IS on
all unix stystem, even (a bad client) on Windows9x.
SSH is great, but it hasn't replaced telnet/ftp/rlogin
yet. Many places still use NIS/NIS+ and NFS too.
There are replacements, but not every one can switch.
How many place still use mbox nail or POP3 instead
of IMAP ?
