Nice touch with the choice of the port number! Now I only have to install telnet on my Mac to be happy! Thanks for the project!

  telnet is preinstalled.

    Wasn't for me

    No (since High Sierra IIRC)

    Interestingly, not for the newer versions of OS X http://osxdaily.com/2018/07/18/get-telnet-macos/ http://osxdaily.com/2018/07/18/get-telnet-macos/

      Oh wow, that's terrible.

        you can brew install it trivially, but yeah my 2018 MacBook Pro with macOS Mojave didn't have it preinstalled.

        Why? The tiny % of people who need telnet are perfectly able to install it themself.

      Or even “newer” versions of Windows. I think they stopped including it in Windows 7.

  I always like to have a look at what is being usurped, when choosing fun/apposite ports: - % grep 1989 /etc/services tr-rsrb-p3 1989/tcp # cisco RSRB Priority 3 port tr-rsrb-p3 1989/udp # cisco RSRB Priority 3 port #mshnet 1989/tcp # MHSnet system #mshnet 1989/udp # MHSnet system

  netcat should work (only tried it in wsl, where the terminal wasn't sending the correct signals for arrows, though)
