In other words, a TELNET connection. I absolutely concur. I've made extensive use of that family of protocols; between MUDs (three active connections right at this moment), mail (SMTP and POP both), actual command execution (though that's usually encrypted via SSH), and *seven* separate protocols that I devised for work, I pretty much *always* am working with a system that parses text into lines and (usually) lines into commands with arguments. It's a broad concept that can be applied to *everything*. I'm firmly of the opinion that Magic: The Gathering could be played over a MUD connection.
