i just downloaded smaug, but when i run it it dosnt let me type anything (windows ME)

what you ran is the server. in order to actually connect to the mud, simply load your telnet client and go to 127.0.0.1, port 4000 (unless you specified that it should do a different port.. if you dont know what im talking about, then 4000 should work).

to have others connect to the mud, give them your ip address

thank heh, the smaug help file didnt really help me much, i'm on a different computer, so i cant see right now, but i know that going in through telnet will work heh, i just thought at first that i was supposed to use the dos window
