Not a bad idea. Press the limits though and make it expandable. Use plugins,
new technologies (ActiveX), different network protocols, etc... If your
making a new one then go for broke.

Sounds nice. I programmed an ActiveX scripting language that I then connect
to through a plugin. It handles all basic arithematic and the such. The actual
core is programmed in C/C++. Plugins can be written in JavaScript, VBScript,
RexxScript, DigiScript (mine), as DLLs (must support custom interfaces), as
ActiveX controls (also must support custom interfaces), and as TCP/IP servers
that return formatted control streams.

I don't know about existing muds that support too many of those things. I've
coded a plugin driver that accepts different types of plugins that interact
and create a game. Several of these plugins support multithreaded users.
A couple of export plugins use DirectPlay over the Internet and DirectX
streams with personally coded clients to stream 3D arenas (very small).
These clients therefore use quite a bit of the clients processors. And one
plugin if used properly and installed on all clients can create a MUD without
any server at all. Just the users.
The PGP thing is neat and I haven't thought about that one yet. It would be
neat, but negotiating a character through PGP isn't as easy as it sounds.
However,
using my WORMHOLE plugin you can easily connect multiple servers that are
all running a WORMHOLE program. I've used this for several space type games
I've created with my plugins.
