       10 years or so ago, this happened:Me: I'm going to disable telnet on all the servers and use ssh everywhere.Users: Can't do that, our client software doesn't support it.Me: Oh, what software are you using?Users: Something called putty.Me: ...A quick walk round the office to reset everyone's putty back to defaults and telnet was very quickly disabled.

       @ptribble about 20 years ago sounds reasonable. OpenBSD removed the last traces of telnetd in the base system in 2005: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=111700017509177&w=2, not sure how long other systems kept theirs (but could be years in some cases)
