Well, I think its a fine idea.  When I was an underclassman at CP I
had people screwing with control of my terminals when I used Telnet,
particularly when xhost was involved.  I was quite happy to learn of
SSH.  I also was informed at the time that xhost is a risky thing to
use.  Telnet has its uses either way.

How was it that you get into a cisco router?  I know you use telnet to
speak with HP directjet nics as well.  Not sure about the routers, but
I think some use telnet as well.  But I suppose I digress...
