SSH is a good suggestion. Telnet uses plain text. Anybody on your LAN can
sniff your network. If you still want to allow telnet, then make use of
hosts.deny and hosts.allow. Create ipchains rules also. I did mine this way,
I redirected a high port to 23 and block port 23.
With SSH, I would suggest you grab the Terra Term SSH for Win9x. It's a
client that support DES, 3DES, blowfish, and so on. It's cool.
You might want to put up antisniff from lopth. I haven't tried it.
