Telnet had its day. There;s no reason to use it now and very good
reasons not to use it.
I think you are confusing the telnet program and the telnet protocol (and daemon). Yes, the concept of running the telnet daemon to allow remote
access is pretty much dead (although I still have a set of machines that
still use it), but the client program is still alive and well and useful.
And, yes, I do mean to indicate that there is a difference between the
telnet protocol and the telnet daemon.
I closed the telnet port on all my servers in 1998 when I got ssh setup
for the first time.
Good for you! Treat yourself to a cookie!
