I've been trying to telnet onto ICS for the last few days, but my
computer always times out because I get nothing back from them.
Nothing!  I'm using the Raphael address, so what's wrong?

(1) On this particular occasion, you should spell it rafael.  As in:

   telnet rafael.metiu.ucsb.edu 5000

(2) The earthquake seems to have thrown that neighborhood into disarray.
Right now it's either:

   telnet news.panix.com 5000

(which appears to have been temporarily brought up, although with old
ratings, passwords, etc.)

or
   telnet anemone.daimi.aau.dk 5000

which is the European server.
