This exercise using telnet takes me back to my early days with the TRS80 and 216k of memory. It also reminds me of the newer graphics calculators and mobile phones - all menus and "what do I press next" decisions. At the time we thought it was so advanced but it is really tedious and time-consuming. It is interesting that the case of a letter does not matter. I had forgotten that part.
The one difficulty I had with this was the saving of the screen. I should have saved it as a .tiff or .jpg file. It did not upload as an .xdoc file. I had to return to the email and copy the contents to clipboard.
