The telnet *client* is still in NOS 0.42... It's the *server* that appears
to have gone...
The telnet server allowed other users to telnet *into* your computer when
you were on line (just as the ftp server allows people to ftp to your
computer). While it was there anyone who new the correct login and password
could telnet in and (among other things) have a chat.
In the sample STARTUP.NOS the commented out line: 
#start telnet
was the one that turned the server on, but since version 0.42 "telnet" is
no longer an option for the start command.
