Answer 1

The title of your question by itself makes some sense.

The body of your question doesn't make sense.

Yes, depending on the platform. You maybe able to use a variety of other methods to configure the router that do not include telnet. E.g. xml-rpc, ssh + interactive, scp config file or fragments, snmp to induce upload config file, etc.

You're in the realms of nanotech microscopy and seriously invalidating the warranty on your router.
