milliseconds are simply more powerful. In telnet the timeout is defined as an integer, so it not possible to say timeout="0.002" for 2 milliseconds. Even if it were possible, it would be a problem because of locales (ie the build file writer would have to wonder whether he should write timeout="0.002" or timeout="0,002" depending on the locale of the computer where his build will run.

We are inconsistent with the timeout attribute between different tasks. <exec>, <java>, <junit> and <sshexec> use milliseconds, <telnet> uses seconds. I understand that some people may migrate from <telnet> to <sshexec> and may get bitten by the difference, but milliseconds is what the majority of other Ant tasks use.
