macOS 12.0 - telnet command not found

macOS 12.0 - telnet command not found. An oversight, or a feature?

Telnet was removed from macOS about 3 years ago. You won't find it in macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave or macOS High Sierra. There are some alternatives in packaging systems such as "homebrew" but, the preference is to not use telnet due to the inherent security risks of doing so. If you think you need telnet, see if whatever you are accessing can use ssh instead. It's also possible to do some things using netcat (nc), which is installed by default.

Yes I just found out that telnet is no longer available. I'm running the latest version of Monterey. I'm able to use netcat (nc) instead.
