Two small things before you go
If something didn’t work on your setup, leave a comment and tell me which distro and version you’re on. I read every one, and most of these articles got better because a reader pointed out what was missing.
And if it did work, share it. TecMint has stayed free for 14 years because people pass these articles around, and that traffic is what pays for writing the next one.

This command is not working.
I get the following error:
Connection closed by foreign host.
@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
