Does anyone know of a publically available telnet proxy, preferably one using SSL?

There is SSH, more of a rlogin. I don't know if it uses SSL or not. Here is the first bit of the README: Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. It is inteded as a replacement for rlogin, rsh, rcp, and rdist. See the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See COPYING for license terms and other legal issues. See RFC for a description of the protocol. There is a WWW page for ssh; see http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh. Compiled out of the box under linux.
