Of course! ssh is for encrypted communcations but it requires smarts on
both end of the connection. telnet doesn't have those smarts.

Considering that the error message is "protocol mismatch", I'm not sure
what everybody else is expecting. It does tell you that the ssh server
is listening, but that you're not trying to talk ssh to it. Telnet is
a totally different protocol from ssh. Just because they're both
normally for terminal communications doesn't mean that they'll
interoperate with each other.
