Nice touch with the choice of the port number! Now I only have to install telnet on my Mac to be happy! Thanks for the project!

telnet is preinstalled.

Interestingly, not for the newer versions of OS X http://osxdaily.com/2018/07/18/get-telnet-macos/

I always like to have a look at what is being usurped, when choosing fun/apposite ports: -

  % grep 1989 /etc/services 
  tr-rsrb-p3      1989/tcp                # cisco RSRB Priority 3 port
  tr-rsrb-p3      1989/udp                # cisco RSRB Priority 3 port
  #mshnet         1989/tcp                # MHSnet system
  #mshnet         1989/udp                # MHSnet system

netcat should work (only tried it in wsl, where the terminal wasn't sending the correct signals for arrows, though)

Oh wow, that's terrible.
