Yes, you can have both - or you can as well disable telnet alltogether.

server?

Could be for everyone as a replacement for telnet. In my opinion for the
admin it's a MUST in an insecure environment (big company net, university
campus).
This is because ssh establishes a secure connection (using public key
techniques)
BEFORE you type in your password.

> 3) can ssh be used outside the states?? i heard certain encryption is not
avaible outside the states.

Yes it can. Open source without any export restrictions ('cause it's not
developed in the states anyway, as far as I know). AND the encryption thing
was somewhat softened recently by the way.

But you need not buy the ssh 2.0 - I'm happy with the free ssh 1.5
(the number is the version of the supported ssh protocol).

In addition to the ssh deamon on the server, you need a ssh-client.
Good client for Windoze in my opinion is the free TeraTerm plus
the ttssh-extension - search for 'ttssh' and you'll find it on the net
in a minute. You could give that to your customers too, if they
receive the honour of shell-acounts ;-)

Please don't call me a good boy or I'll need to see my headshrink because of
my childhood projections. :-)
