I was using puTTy.
I tried again with windows telnet and it seemed to work.

Please take this next as Constructive critism.
I got bored of typing north, south, east and west only to be told I was in the
wilderness all the time.  I would have thought that a few bits of prose like "You
can see some kind of structure off in the distance to the west", etc would be
better at the start of the game.
Also a bit of variance with the "I think you mumbled" (or whatever) line. 
Choose from a random selection of a dozen or so phrases.

Take New players through a bit more than just a couple of commands (Look and
Score) and give them the ability to learn the commands for interacting with
things.
eg. have something shiny on the ground - pick it up, examine it and find it is
just scrap, drop it. Let the player know the commands for inventory access, etc. 
Ok, keep some commands back for later use - combat or whatever.

Otherwise it'll lose interest to any who are not hardened MUD fans (and me).

All the best,
Dave
