The following resources are available via the internet to satiate your every mudding need (I hope). Have fun and if you find any broken links please inform Blobule.
Neuromancer's Favourites
Our very own Neuromancer has donated his expertise and time to build a few RPM
packages of his favourite MUD clients. These should work in any RPM compatible
linux distribution (Mandrake, Red Hat, etc). They come highly recommended not
just because they are great clients, but because as far as I (Blobule) am
concerned, Linux beats MS WindowsTM hands down for performance,
stability, and cost. Linux is just so many light years ahead that it breaks my
wee slimey heart to see so many sheep using MS WindowsTM. If you
experience any problems with these packages please get in touch with Neuromancer
via the MUD.

Mud
Master 2000
If you are looking for a graphical client with
menus and a mouse-driven interface, MM2000 is for you. When it comes to
scrolling text and speed, the windows GUI (Graphical User Interface) can be
faster than the windows Console Mode. (Yes, I know there are exceptions.)
Anybody familiar with Mud Master Console (Dos) or Tintin should have no
trouble getting used to Mud Master 2000. I have modeled the syntax after MM
Console & Tintin's. Without any major and perhaps some minor adjustments, you
should be able to load MM Console and Tintin command files.
Most importantly, Mud Master 2000 is FREE. The client is not crippled in any
way, nor does it nag you to register. If you find the program useful you are
welcome to use it all you like.
Mud Master 2000 has been a hobby of mine for awhile now. I work on it when I
find the time or get the urge. Sometimes this means it won't change for a
lengthy period of time and sometimes there might be several updates in a week.
Be sure to update OFTEN!
