I started out using TF under OS/2, and later under Linux. I tried others, but always went back. No GUI crap for me!
I used it for...far too many years. Try your best to avoid the black hole that is MUD addiction. It just about drummed me out of college. I still fight the urge to go back (I was a long-time player on Duris, as well as some GodWars muds), as the primary MUD I played on is still alive and kicking...as far as I know, at least. Fortunately I haven't checked in on it in almost a year.
ask google, not slashdot?

I mean, by the time the poster will have succesfully sorted through all tho flames and useless jokes, they could have just as easily used google, tried 9 or 10 things, and based the solution on their own preferences. No need for this.

this isn't as simple to google and I would like to hear your reponses.
This is also my client of choice - it stays out of your way (looks like telnet to the onlooker) and provides good scripting facilities. There is also a port to Windows (which thankfully looks NOTHING like Windows Telnet;), Wintin.

Bah, who needs clients? This one was designed to be completely playable with raw telnet:

'course it's mine, so I might be a little biased.
