I would love to have "only telnet" to the home router of the author, it's just telnet after all, right? It's like saying the opening the port 80 on your router

I would love to have "only telnet" to the home router of the author, it's just telnet after all, right? It's like saying the opening the port 80 on your router to the internet is safe because it's just plaintext over the line.

It wasn't open to the internet. Routers and such have several interfaces, including one called often "management". If you can plug an ethernet cable into that interface you get superpowers. That interface was where they offered telnet.
