And my point is why even bother? When every modern linux distribution comes with SSH. When SSH has so much more security features than plain telnet over ssl? For example: Telnet over SSL does not keep track of the public keys of the hosts that the local computer connects to. So if someone hijacks the IP address of the remote machine you are trying to connect to, he will have access to the password you are trying to send.
