Yes, I would always choose telnet first. Unfortunately, if you want to test an encrypted session telnet fails miserably. The [press R to renegotiate] behavior of s_client is documented and, last time I looked, can't be disabled. At any rate, s_client is intended for testing. If your hashed test password string has an "R" in it, use a different test password. -- Noel Jones
