I think it would be nice to add the following subject convention when refering to docs. DOCS: When submiting or refering to Documintation. Expand to refer to a specific file. Example [DOCS: README.WIN] REPLACE: README.WIN 6) Start a telnet program. Open a connection to your own machine ("localhost", IP 127.0.0.1, or whatever the name of your machine happens to be) on port 4000. You should see the MUD's login screen welcoming you and asking for your name. The standard telnet program that comes free with Windows 95 and NT works great, but you will need to check the 'Local Echo' box under 'Terminal'--'Preferences' or you will not be able to see what you are typing. There are some programs that support telnet's line-mode-- EWAN, CRT, zMUD, or any other Winsock telnet application. These programs are freely downloadable from any number of Internet sites. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
