regarding the "MUD for ffml'ers"? I don't seem to be able to hook up. 

Ok - you have some sort of direct net.connection (dialin, PPP, SLIP, shell 
etc etc.  UUCP doesn't cut it I'm afraid ;) )

Run your telnet program (usually called 'telnet' ;) ) and connect to 
'ghost.cc.cmu.edu' port '1996'.  ( In most cases, you'll get away with 
'telnet ghost.cc.cmu.edu 1996' )

The Welcome message should come up, and when you've finished reading it, 
connect as the guest character  (thats, 'connect guest guest')

Have a look around, and if you want a character of your own, page someone 
listed in the +staff command (yes, thats '+staff' then 
'page nameofstaffperson=I want a character please ;)' )

Of course, having a proper MUD client is better than plain telnet.  For 
Unix, pick up 'Tinyfugue' at:
          ftp.math.okstate.edu:/pub/muds/clients/UnixClients
          ftp.tcp.com:/pub/mud/Clients
And for Windoze, try zMUD at:
          http://www.rt66.com/~zugg/zmud.html
or GMUD at: (requires Win32s or Win95/NT)
          papa.indstate.edu:/winsock-l/mud
Just so some others don't feel left out, MUDDweller runs on any Mac:
          rudolf.ethz.ch:/pub/mud
          mac.archive.umich.edu:/mac/util/comm
          ftp.tcp.com:/pub/mud/Clients
And if you use some other system... email me and I'll find you a client 
if you can't.

Btw, its a MUX, not a MUD (don't confuse the two ;) )
