History of Telnet
Telnet was made official and became part of the superior ARPANet in 1980, around long before the general WWW and Internets. Long before the world was plagued by blogs and teenage girls with LiveJournals, cool people used telnet to communicate with each other.
Telnet is completely unencrypted and thus make a perfect gift wrap for your docs. This ensures the fastest possible connection and lowest overhead, since encryption just wastes CPU and makes more packets. Believe me, you aren't important enough to be sniffed.
