Sysops seem pretty thin on the ground these days, but it's "out
there" as a suggestion.  If I were to set up a BBS with Internet
access, SSH is probably the approach that I would take.  Web-based BBS have
their place too.

  MS> We're in perfect agreement over ~SSH~...

It was bound to happen eventually ;-)

  MS> ...not the removal of ~TelNet~.

Telnet clients are ubiquitous, the fact that they come as standard
equipment with most operating system software, and are available for more
besides (including DOS) counts in favour of telnet. Whether to allow the
use of an insecure protocol to access the BBS is ultimately the sysop's
decision.
