Yea, I think thats it exactly. TELNET is plain text and really not a way you'd 
want to do anything important or secure, ever - let alone in 2023. Some sysOps, 

























































even just on the BBSes, request users use SSH after they're account is created 
- its way smarter, but I don't place too much worry in the BBS machine; I just 
try to secure it within my network.
