in reply to Sending encrypted passwords via Telnet

Just use ssh instead of plain telnet.

Update
as an answer to skx and theroninwins: of course there are situations where ssh is not an option but the OP didn't state this fact ...

    Sometimes using ssh isn't an option.

    For example I maintain a phone system, which only accepts administrative commands via telnet. Whilst I could pay for an improved model with ssh access that's not within my budget, and installing a tiny ssh server isn't practical either, due to the contstraints of the system.
