Even for authentication? I can understand using a telnet client to manually test SMTP servers or other protocols, but I cannot understand why you *need* telnet. Mind you I am against using pop3 as well, unless it's encrypted. -D -----Original Message----- From: Peter Pentchev [mailto:roam@ringlet.net] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 2:08 PM To: Carroll, D.

For most cases, anything less than SSH is asking for trouble. There *are* some cases, though, when telnet is acceptable (properly protected LAN's), and there are even some cases when telnet is the only really acceptable way - and yes, I've heard about all kinds of SSH clients, including Java ones, web-based ones, etc.. but still, there are cases when one simply has to use telnet, period.
