&gt; for intermud communication (the '97 buzzword huh? Connect now with 
&gt; your Sega to the to the Intermud! SEGA!!!). Anyway, if I can actually
&gt; get to the coding part, I hope to get the intermud3 hooked up so
&gt; that I can join other muds in the same network (mostly LP and a couple
&gt; Diku muds).

I (used) to be on the intermud list and one thing that struck me as
annoying was their insistence on re-creating existing protocols that are
perfectly capable (just drop them on a different port or on a sub-protocol
like VEIL).  For example:

&gt; Intermud3 has the following features:
&gt; 	-mudlist to show what muds are up, type, address, databases
&gt; 	-remote tell with emotes

There is no existing protocol which would handle this well.

&gt; 	-remote who
&gt; 	-finger

Whats wrong with the current 'finger' protocol on port 79?

&gt; 	-intermud mail (based on the mud name not the address)

One word: SMTP

&gt; 	-ftp/telnet

uhh
