I have mostly completed auditing inetutils-telnet and have lightly audited netkit-telnet-ssl. They seem roughly equivalent for code quality. inetutils-telnet provides kerberos and shishi, but not ssl. Also, inetutils' telnet-localhost.sh build test is skipped on lunar.
Apologize Dominik, that was redundant.
