For some random reason, I tried to use Telnet.
None of these commands worked:
Code: o irc.mzima.net 6667
This one just fails immediately.
Code: o google.com 80
This one takes a while then fails.
Any idea why?
Both work for me. With the Google one, try sending a GET request - type the following (though you'll need to do it blind):
Code: GET / HTTP/1.1
and press Enter twice (each part of the request is on its own line followed by a blank line to indicate the end of the request). For IRC, try a simple command like NICK <nickname>.
For more fun, try connecting to discworld.imaginary.com or towel.blinkenlights.nl.
The Windows Telnet client is pretty rudimentary; PuTTY may be a more pleasant piece of software to use.
For the first one, I was able to connect. The second one expects a request from the client. Try typing "GET" without the quotations.
Edit: ninja'd
What OS? Try "telnet ifarchive.org 21" I recommend reading the
"I Sit In Siberia" tutorial.
Windows. I don't think we've gotten Spyro to switch, yet
Windows suxx, use Linux! Now that I've gotten that out of me... I'll try to be useful. Post a listing of your telnet session here.

No OS war trolling in a topic that's not about OSes. Spyro, a log would indeed be helpful. Right-click in your command window, choose Mark, hold left-click to select an area, release, and press right-click to copy.
