That's what makes us the best. :P

Well, they're different protocols. :)  TELNET tends to be the more
standard of the two whereas rlogin (and the other r-services) tend to be
Unix-specific.  I think Telnet is also the simpler of the two since it's
often used for interactively opening a TCP connection to some non-telnet
port and directly interacting with the server listening there.

Someone who knows more about it can probably give you better details.

Christian.
