Why should this be added?
The main reason is because telnet is unencrypted. Using SSH would protect your password as well as any other information you send over the connection. One could debate whether there is anything that is that important that needs to be encrypted, but if it is a relatively easy thing to add, please consider adding it.
I noticed a number of BBS systems now support both telnet and SSH, and in fact one that I connected to the other day actually noticed I was on a telnet connection and requested that I switched SSH. I don’t know whether this will increase or not, but again, if it is fairly simple to add, it might be a nice thing.
So, just a simple request, please consider it.
Thanks,
Steve
