That which has been around for a long time, is well understood, and is
already set up always has a quicker learning curve than something new. ;-)

which is the closest analogue to the telnet interface, doesn't require a
complete understanding of all the details and variants of SSH authentication.
You just have to use it after running the config scripts. :-)
