Michael,
Actually, on a previous thread there were a (large) number
of reasons, including printers, emulators, switches, routers...
a whole bestiary of equipment which does not speak ssh
but telnet. Not to mention a plethora of platorms, and the
conditions under which an unencrypted telnet can be used
with minimal risk.
See previous thread 'Arrrgh - Telnet Problems (Authentication?)'
for your edification (and a solution).
Regards,
David
P.S. skidley (Chad?) - apology accepted.
