ascii starwars on telnet !

  A few days ago a friend of mine told me to try what follows:

              telnet blekko.com

  <return> then type
   
              starwars
  <return>

  Great !

That's a telnet server running the ASCII version of Star Wars Episode IV.

Can also be found on many websites, either as a text file or java applet 
/ javascript.

I must admit, it's really more impressive to see it running fullscreen on 
my linux box than from a webpage.

I could be wrong, but I don't think dos has a built-in telnet client. You 
could try other (free or shareware) telnet clients for windows but I'm 
not sure whether or not it'd solve your problem.

Alternative telnet clients for Windows 98 :
