Works fine from here. Maybe you're spelling it wrong? I highly doubt he blacklisted your IP, unless you're relentlessly badgering his system.
Even if it were to connect for you, it doesn't seem to work using anything Windows related, right?
I tried connecting with both Syncterm and Putty from a Windows 64bit machine, and they both scramble the text all over the screen. He has already stated he doesn't have a Windows machine to test with.
The only way it is working for me is via a Linux console. If you don't have that option available to you, maybe you're better off moving on.
Regards,
Nick
