SSH looks just like telnet. You get a prompt "login as: " then you get
prompted for a password. The difference is that the connection is encrypted.
Otherwise it looks/acts like telnet or rlogin. I don't run telnet anymore, I
only use SSH. To access my Linux machines from Winboxes, I use PuTTY
<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/licence.html>. It's free
and easy to setup.
