What is a MUDClient?

Clients are programs, usually written in C, that connect up to servers. Telnet is one such client program. Many clients written for MUDs have special added bonus features through which they filter the output; most, for instance, separate your input line from the output lines and wraps words after 80 columns. Some also have a macro- writing capability which allows the user to execute several commands with just a few keypresses. Some allow you to highlight output coming from certain channels or suppress it altogether (by turning the channel off).

There are different Clients for different platforms (MAC, PC and UNIX) and all offer unique features. Below we list some Clients by platform. We have tested and recommend these clients; each lists what we liked and why. :-)
