Using Telnet? But the server program might report
false information....

That's not the name of the server program
deployed by Eternal-September. It's just
a "Message-ID"!!

AND there is no server named
"toylet.eternal-september.org"!

Just "ping toylet.eternal-september.org"
in Command Prompt of any Windows!!

Or you can use the command "nslookup".

That person has a fundamental misconception of what Usenet is and how it
works. Unfortunately for him, he is impervious to Clue. Either that or
he's a particularly irksome troll. (N.B. crosspost to alt.conspiracy)

You can also use the telnet command on port 119 in Windows (IIRC it
needs to be enabled in optionalfeatures) or openssl s_client.

Use a wireshark trace. I have a couple on disk.

Windows 10/11 disabled the Telnet client by default.
I forgot about whether OpenSSH/Windows has SSH mode.
Anyway, I can always use Putty which can do serial
communication, too.

I don't have ncat in my Windows 10.
It's easier to do TCP/IP things in
Linux like Fedora.

What? That's like saying Windows disabled Chrome, which can be installed
as can Telnet.

Telnet, and other optional features can be installed using add/remove
Windows features.
