[more similar complaints and answers cut]
It should be noted as well that telnet is the closest we've got to a
universal mud client right now -- thus, getting a better telnet will
not only help the user with your mud, but with just about any mud that
he/she decides to play on.
Indeed, a better telnet client can help with things entirely unrelated
to muds, for those of us who want/need to be able to get a command
line on a machine we work or play on from home.
Lastly, should a mud need certain telnet features, it's not too hard
to seek out a good client for the two popular platforms (Mac and
Windows -- Unix usually comes with a fairly good telnet already) and
link to it from your mud's web site.
Heck, the first thing I do on almost any Windows machine I get is
install CRT -- my personal favorite Windows telnet program.
