On xp I had no problems accessing telnet, it's just a dos style console window though you'd not want to use it for muds because of the text coming in in real time. if your using Windows 7 or whatever, the link I gave has instructions on how to connect. All the best, Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream. ----- Original Message ----- From: "darren harris" <darren_g_har...@btinternet.com> To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Friday, May 22, 2015 4:39 PM Subject: [Audyssey] bbs games was RE: anacrion game > Hi, > > Could I not use vip mud to connect to this?
