Uh, it works ``above the telnet protocol'' in as much as FTP, SMTP, or
HTTP work ``above the telnet protocol''.

Good observation; Internet traffic can be easily sniffed.
Which is why implementing strong cryptographic measures is needed in order
to protect Internet traffic from such passive attacks. For example, see
e.g. IPSEC and oh, wait... SSH.
Unfortunately, SSH v1 is vulnerable to some active attacks, SSH v2 suffers
from licensing problems and IPSEC has its own problems. Is that what you
were trying to say?
