It has little to do with telnet itself. I would suggest downloading some mud code, circle, diku, or whatever and start looking at the select, bind, socket, gethostbyname, and related system calls. Also, you'll probably want to buy a good book on socket and client/server programming.. <PLUG> PS. Feel free to download the code for my from-scratch MUD and poke around with it. I could probably answer any questions you might have about it. But, beware...it's beta with bugs and I put new releases up w/out testing them very well :) See my web page for more information... </PLUG> Ben > I have been programming on a circleMUD based MUD for about a > year now, and, well, I have ( and I admit this task is just > a slight bit nutty, but I feel I am in good company for it. > ) recently taken intrest in programming a MUD from scratch, > and have been attempting to learn such things as database > handling, script parsing, handling time, multiple users, and > other such esoteric techniques.
