Well, it doesn’t appear to be a hack.  I got it to work using window’s (*wipes dust off shoulder*) version of telnet (I suppose it’s actually DOS, but whatever).

Just telnet the server: towel.blinkenlights.nl (heather spelled it wrong à see below) and it should start automatically.

(Sorry for the random incomplete post)

Alex:

Ed wrote a script that telnet'd (telnetted?) towel.blikenlights.nl and then ran it using VIM's execute shell command command (:!).

It was a hack, but it was fun. VIM just doesn't come with tetris...
