    I assume you're talking about the ftelnet (http://ftelnet.ca/) web app embedded in the home page of ecWebv4 ... like you see at http://web.synchro.net ?

    The ftelnet web app uses websockets to connect to proxy service running in Synchronet (by default):

    And yeah, not http connect from here:
    $ nc galaxybbs.net 80
    Ncat: TIMEOUT.
