Re: Reaching out beyond text MUDs

I hadn't realized that Telnet wasn't active in Vista by default. Gotta say this is worrisome to me. I know raw Telnet is the ugliest format possible for a MU* to be viewed in, but that direct link was often a common method of having folks "accidentally" discover a MUD. Now they'd need to know about the existence of MUDs so that they can install Putty, MUSHClient, SimpleMU or some other client software.

Really makes me want to front-burner plans for a web-based front-end for my games.
