Doesn't work. Wasn't this the BOFH excuse server? If so that's now at

bofh.jeffballard.us port 666

Yo could also look for

First internet backgammon server
Free internet chess server
NASA JPL Horizons

There's also a bunch of game servers

and Anonymous Archivers gateway.

I'm also on the look out for more fun telnet stuff.
