Thanks for reporting this.  I noticed it after cutting the snapshot myself
and Fernando has fixed it.  My understanding is that the telnetd portion
will be moved to be part of the rtems_servers under libnetworking.

I will leave this to Fernando.  The stuff that the shell does support is
nice since it growsa the capabilities of the old monitor considerably.
For instance, the networking statistics can now be displayed.

I would like to see the capability to hook any "shell" to the telnetd
portion since that would make it possible to use the same infrastructure
to put a product specific shell in.
