In this context, I agree with the statements above (a public access
kiosk should use SSH). However, telnet of itself remains a useful
_client_, largely for accessing arbitrary services for testing.
I would tend to support rooting out all instances of telnet _daemons_
(servers). However I don't see a great deal of harm in providing a
telent client to informed users. Likely not those you'd find on a
public access system.
