The part about Telnet is truly scary...
What's really scary is that the people here complaining about a certain vendor charging extra for SSH and hence forcing them to use "insecure" telnet havnt the cop-on to read that vendor's "AAA" documentation and realise that the base feature set _already_ includes capability to do secure authentication.

Eg, challenge/response via RADIUS or even Kerberised telnet (and many people here probably already have kerberos servers in their organisations, aka Windows Active Directory).
