I was connected to the network using telnet as an IRC client. I have done this numerous times before without problem. What happened was that I had accidentally copied a large amount of text from a web-page I was viewing.
In my telnet connection I had just gotten a PING :irc.Prison.NET; earlier I had copied the proper response to this,
PONG :irc.Prison.NET, to the clipboard. So thinking it was still on the clipboard I pasted it into the terminal, only to be surprised to see this huge section of text pasted then this message appear below it
Now I cannot reconnect to the server(using a proper client) getting the message::irc.Prison.NET 421 Chart THE :Unknown command Drone bots
:Chart!~Chartr@S0106000f3d6582fd.cg.shawcable.net QUIT :Drone bots
ERROR :Closing Link: S0106000f3d6582fd.cg.shawcable.net (Drone bots)
Connection closed by foreign host.
If I get another chance I will be careful when using telnet to connect and will not rely on the clipboard as much as I had before.*** Banned AUTO-CMD (2008/11/3 20.14)

Please I would like to have another chance connect to the network again.
