this is not nearly the same league as (proper) ssh.

complaining that cisco charges extra for such a critical component is 
exactly the right thing to do; it is fucking scary.

every damn network device which used to have telnet should ship with 
ssh, it's free. well, I understand that cisco has problems with their 3$ 
CPUs with the crypto load, bit that's an extremely poor excuse.
