It is an application. It uses a 100% custom network protocol though that doesn't look at all similar to telnet. So in the current state it isnt much of use for other games.
However, we have been considering to make a similar type of client that is more customizable and uses a simple protocol based on strings that could function along with telnet and diku derivates etc. It would probably be free with a license that says our company logo must be present or something like that. Though to get all the features necessary for a client like this a whole deal of things need to be coded and modified in the game server as well. We were thinking about making pseudo-code snippets for it perhaps. But at the current date we are pretty busy and these are just things we have on the horizon.
