I'd like to take a look at them, just to see if there is anything we
might be able to tweak.

I think some people were using it before, but no one has ever used it
heavily.  I did have telnetd running on a box at one point but I don't

need some work so they're easy to install (More important, actually
work)  A working ftpd would be useful too.
