- Erm i get the same problems just telnetting to the loopback port normally...
- But for my MUD (I'm using LambdaMOO), i'm using mud.el (an emacs script) to
- connect and it works fine !!! (No, telnet doesn't work either...)
-
- (I haven't got TinyTalk to compile yet - a bit too BSDish for Linux to
- compile it straight, it seems, although I remember someone saying they did
- get it going...)
-
- You can get mud.el at parcftp.xerox.com, in the pub/MOO/clients dir.
- (if you can't, ask me and i'll send it or put it on sunsite...)
-
- Enjoy !
