I’ll explain more once people have a chance to mull it over.

Its hexadecimal and judging by the ranges of numbers its probably ASCII codes. I’d figure out what it says if I cared a little more.
For anyone who wants to do it, just use ruby and put those values into an array then do arr.pack(‘C*’).
(“68 74 2F 77 79 6F 74 3A 77 6E 63 63 70 77 69 2E 70 20 2F 74 6C 36 77 20 2E 72 2F 34 20 20 75 6D 39 20 20 20”).split(” ”).map{|h| h.hex}.pack(“c*”)
=> “ht/wyot:wnccpwi.p /tl6w .r/4 um9 ”

Note that the above is not the answer, it just where the answer ultimately leads you to. And @phoenyx and @paulc are right about it being ascii in hex.
Thanks. I am working on developing a set of puzzles and a caesar box similar to this one is the starting point.
BTW: nice nick xyzzy, are you lucky enough to have played adventure on a mainframe?
@tekn0lust, unfortunately no, that would be a bit before my time.
