  Connection failed

Maybe we should give the kind person who hosts it a break. Try it out tomorrow. (Yes, I should have thought of that before I tried.)

It might be the telnet filtering in action. The host responds to ping but I get nothing back on TCP/23, not even a reset.

It's still working over IPv6

213.136.8.188 appears to not respond to telnet from any ISP I attempt to connect to it on, I wonder if its just not bound to port 23 on IPv4 or the ISP is filtering port 23. IPv6 works fine to connect.
