Since TIdTCPServer is being used, TIdTCPClient should be used as well. With
that said, using a telnet client, Indy's or otherwise, is a simple useful
way to debug text-based servers, since the Telnet protocol itself is
text-based and conforms to most of the same rules as other textual protocols
(FTP, for example, is actually derived from Telnet).
