Play backgammon on the command line.
$ telnet fibs.com 4321
try on your machine
This command initiates a Telnet connection to the host "fibs.com" on port "4321".
Telnet is a protocol used to establish a connection to a remote computer on a network. By typing in "telnet fibs.com 4321" into the command line, you are telling your computer to connect to the FIBS (First Internet Backgammon Server) website at fibs.com on port 4321. This is useful if you are a backgammon player and want to play online against other players on the FIBS server.
Once the Telnet connection is established, you can send commands and receive responses from the FIBS server. For example, you may need to log in with your FIBS username and password, and then enter commands to start a game or join a specific backgammon room.
