huh so telnetd is not enabled or filtered at that host what does that have to do with anything
the only thing i can think of you finding telnet easier is that if you type something wrong
at login you're basically screwed, since PUSH packets are send at every instance of user
input

you seem to have PKI enabled and thus use keys, did you read some doc's or some howto's on how to do that
or did that knowledge simply came to you in a vision ?

well it's a lot easier to setup a telnet deamon ... than a sshd daemon.
and well ... you don't have to use telnet for just telnet it's much much more
although nc is the better tool for that, telnet still is the most common on multiple platforms.
even microsoft includes a telnet client, although it's a pretty broken version.
