If you know how to compile yourself a program under unix, here's a fine MUD client which performs very well as enhanced telnet.

We have changed the command separator character from ; to § as ; is very impractical for winking in chats.. ;-)

Usage: powwow symlynX.powwow

The latest powwow configuration is in the psyced distribution and if we didn't mess up its access rights you should be able to download it by clicking here.

So you are still using Windows? You may want to look at powtty!
