Really? You think an IM client could keep up with the speed muds output info? Can IRC clients? Keep in mind I'm not really a tech person, but don't IM messages get at least some minimal processing on another set of servers before being sent back out to the recipient, as opposed to telnet clients that connect directly to a mud server? Isn't it possible that the IM central servers could be slow enough to add noticeable latency? Again, I really have no idea myself.
