I'm with Chris on this one.  When I don't have netcat handy telnet is
the universal web browser, TCP protocol identifier, MUA and firewall
rule tester.  I honestly don't remember the last time I used it for
telnet though.  As for CISCO routers they can generally be configured
to use SSH these days can't they?  The last one I played with did.
