True. None the less, there is at least one perfectly good use for
telnet: testing connections to servers.

charles@hawk:~$ telnet hawk
Trying 127.0.1.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
charles@hawk:~$ telnet hawk 80
Trying 127.0.1.1...
Connected to hawk.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.
charles@hawk:~$ 

The first attempt shows that hawk does not have a telnet server on the
default port. The second shows that it does have a server of some sort
on port 80, which is assigned to http.
