    "Too many connections!"

    Seems overloaded... show's what happens when you expose a simple server to Show HN!

    It doesn't seem to work with PuTTY, maybe its telnet defaults aren't what the code expects.

    Since when does macOS not have telnet built in?

    unrelated but this reminded me of my favourite telnet server: towel.blinkenlights.nl

    Very cool! It can become an engine for playing board game online, which don't have critical timing requirements. Is it also possible for tui-based MMO?
