telnet doesn't give you a banner *telling* you what it did, in current
versions; however, if you do ^] enc status, it should say:
telnet> enc stat
Currently encrypting output with DES_CFB64
Currently decrypting input with DES_CFB64
which should be clear (and isn't spoofable the way a normal message
would be.) There are some improvements to this (on v5 anyway) in the
pipeline.
