The first server doesn't appear to send anything:

rufus:/home/gerald> telnet 153.91.42.26 8085
Trying 153.91.42.26...
Connected to 153.91.42.26.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0

   [ After waiting about 15 seconds I gave up ]

The UMKC URL returns the following:

rufus:/home/gerald> telnet kcurserver2.kc.umkc.edu 8081
Trying 134.193.176.212...
Connected to kcurserver2.kc.umkc.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed by foreign host.

In each case I telnetted to the appropriate port and typed "GET / 
HTTP/1.0" followed by two carriage returns.  This is the abbreviated 
version of what a web browser does.
