I have needed telnet-server a few times when trying to debug when
connecting from network gear (no ssh in most). Also, where we allow
shell access to web hosting customers, we still allow telnet (most of
them are on Windows and it only includes a telnet client).
Tell them to use putty or some such SSH client for Windows.
