- I'm going to assume you are talking about my AmigaMUD system that I posted
- about a couple of days ago. If not, see later.
-
- First, we have to wait for some kind soul out there to put the system up
- on an Amiga on the Internet and tell us about it. That telling would
- including the Internet name of the machine and the port that AmigaMUD
- is running at, if its not the defaults I set up.
-
- Then, you have to have AmiTCP/IP setup on your machine, and up and running
- with a connection to your Internet service provider. Then, assuming you
- have AmigaMUD installed, you would enter the CLI command:
-
- run MUD <hostname> [<portname>]
-
- where <hostname> is the abovementioned Internet machine name, and <portname>,
- if needed, is the abovementioned port number. Everything should then
- just happen. If you are a Workbench user, then you would edit the MUD
- icon and put the machine name and port in with the IPHOST and IPPORT
- tooltypes, then double click on the icon
-
-
- If you are talking about other MUDs, then you still need AmiTCP/IP (or
- some other networking package) up and running, and then you would use
- the 'telnet' command from a CLI, as in:
-
- telnet <hostname> <portname>
