In other words, a TELNET connection. I absolutely concur.

I've made extensive use of that family of protocols; between MUDs
(three active connections right at this moment), mail (SMTP and POP
both), actual command execution (though that's usually encrypted via
SSH), and *seven* separate protocols that I devised for work, I pretty
much *always* am working with a system that parses text into lines and
(usually) lines into commands with arguments. It's a broad concept
that can be applied to *everything*. I'm firmly of the opinion that
Magic: The Gathering could be played over a MUD connection.
