@Jan,
How you executing telnet command? could you tell us?
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
@Jan,
It’s due to host “towel.blinkenlights.nl” could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
How do I go back to command prompt after using the “telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl” command ? Ctrl+C does not work.
@Rakesh,
Try Ctrl+Z to stop the running command and back to command prompt
