Pity ^S/^Q don't work for pause/play. ^C/^Z also don't seem to work for quitting. I wonder what's preventing these keybindings from working. Very cool regardless.

The fact that Telnet is actually a protocol, and a weird one (mostly because it's ancient and actually predates UNIX). I believe the reason is that those keypresses are not interpreted by your terminal but instead sent over to the other side to be interpreted there. Obviously, they don't do anything there.
With "nc towel.blinkenlights.nl 23", on the other hand, they would work.
