An old refrain for me, but I really dislike most clients.
Specifically I dislike the idea of using the client to automate
playing the game. I feel strongly that any game which both can be so
automted, or for which players benefit (!) by such automation is
seriously flawed.
Then again, my preferred client is raw telnet.
>Um...actually telnet can't do much of anything, that I've seen.
Pretty much, yeah. It does however have one of the most baroque
protocols I can think of.

Hehn. Drive it with curses (you don't have to use the windowing
stuff) and you can do damn near anything on any terminal you have a
termcap for. Remember: Curses (well, decent implementations, and I've
seen some doozies) was originally optimised for running across slow
serial lines.

Did a full screen editor with drop down menus, scrollable command
histories, block editing etc under CURSES once. Ran fine over 9600
dialups.
