Since Tier 1 transit providers have now blocked telnet (port 23), this means the death of watching ASCII Star Wars with `telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl`

However, if you still long for nostalgia, I was able to access it over IPv6 using a VPN based in the Netherlands:

    telnet 2001:7b8:666:ffff::1:42

I'm sure the port 23 telnet blocking will be coming to IPv6 soon though.
