SSH may be common in the PC/server world, but it's still much easier
(and less demanding on the host's resources) to embed a telnet server
rather than an SSH one.
Embedded HTTP servers seem to be slowly taking over this role (where
SNMP hasn't already done so), but telnet-based equipment remote control
interfaces are certainly still quite common.
Cheers,
Nick.
