Basically when the client requests it and the server has a 3des key.
telnet is a case where the protocol uses just a single-DES key and
therefore the telnet client explicitly requests a 1DES credential.

Heimdal is buildable with cygwin under win*.  The GUI-version of
telnet (ktelnet) currently only works with krb4.  But heimdal also
acts a krb4 KDC and all the clients and servers support both
protocols.
