Oh this is a shame, it was such a useful program but now it can't be used by so many with telnet removed from firmware releases as insecure.

Windows 10 still has telnet, you just need to enable it, and I'm sure most Linux distributions will run it but again it might need to be installed.

With them saying firmware I assume they meant newer routers wont have telnet enabled due to security issues.  Then again, most wont have SSH either.

Yes you're right, but as you say SSH ability won't help much here.

Plus I'd be concerned that the overhead of SSH might spike CPU usage on a router.

^^^
That was certainly what I found when I was experimenting with SSH in DSLstats.
