Linux has not added support for secure telnet (as we have in z/OS and
z/VM). Of course, there's no real need for it on Linux since ssh is
perfectly reasonable alternative.)
Linux can most certainly support secure Telnet, whether kerberized,
TLS-negotiated, or SSL-wrapped implicit. Granted, no one bothers
since they already have SSH, but there's nothing stopping you from
doing secure Telnet.
