I cannot appear to locate a telnet daemon in 3.8 installs now. It

I see no mention of this in the release notes or after a cursory
search of the mailing lists. It's possible it is mentioned somewhere
and I am missing it.
I understand the advantages of ssh over telnet, but telnet is still
heavily used in many environments.
Is it merely hiding somewhere or can someone recommend an alternative for me?

I noticed the same thing.....I used to use telnet via the LAN and ssh
via the WAN...and now run ssh on both. Thanks to a tip from this
list, I used different configs..on the LAN, I use passwords, so ssh
works very much like telnetd and on the WAN, I only permit publickeys
for security.
HTH.
