Great, has almost degenerated into 'not my problem.' Well, anyway, can
someone that actually uses zMUD try his suggestion?

I think it is very possible that the unix clients just happen to send the
CR/LF in the same packet as the password. As indicated in my posting, I
have written my network library myself so it doesn't have anything in common
with what other clients might be using. The only think in common is using
the Windows Winsock. While a bug in Winsock is possible, your's is the only
MUD that has reported a problem like this.
To verify if the problem is related to the telnet option negotiation, turn
off the Telnet Emulation option in the Emulation Preference page in zMUD.
If the prompt is still doubled, then there is a problem on the MUD server
with getting the CR/LF in a different packet. I *did* verify that the CR/LF
is sent in a different packet when using the autologin feature in zMUD. If
this is what is causing the problem, then it is definitely something that
needs fixing on the MUD server end and not in the clients.
