/* begin * netkit-telnet 0.17 (the telnet client and daemon) telnet supports the original DARPA telnet interactive communication protocol. As connecting to a telnetd server transmits your password over the network in cleartext, telnet's use as a login protocol has been mostly superseded by the use of ssh and sshd. However, the telnet client is still a very handy tool, and telnetd may still have some uses on networks that are known to be secure. telnet and telnetd were ported from BSD. * end */
