Dead like there are no more telnet sites?

> No. There are some sites out there.

Dead like no one uses them?

> No. But fading away.

Dead like the code has been removed from operating systems?

> No. The code is still there. Quite frankly, I'd be willing to bet that some of the telnet vulnerabilities that were easily found in operating systems of the late 1990's and early 2000's are "back". If I'm right, it is a recurring thing that happens mostly due to the laziness of code writers. I'd give you some hints on where/how to look for such vulnerabilities, but I am not a believer in the "honesty" of White Hat hackers... its best you aren't tempted too much...

It's certainly in use internally for access and management of devices.

Gopher is a bit more viable than telnet for simple web-alternates.

Telnet does continue to work with IRC, albeit with little convenience.
