More modern telnet wasn't *quite* that bad..still, better avoided. How about having telnet users connect to a gateway box, telnet in and ssh out, to cater for 'legacy users'? Should be sufficiently annoying that people who *can* ssh directly, do. And still leaves a method for old users to continue. Just call the command 'connect' or something, so the users don't get the wrong idea about security ...
