I was at university until 1996. When I left they had one pentium room, one
xterm room, two dumb terminal rooms (the only places we were allowed to mud
from) and a large number of 386/486s. The University was probably below
average in such equipment (the comp/sci/maths department was quite small
with its own site), but I know of far worse places.
I would say the typical mudder at University these days plays from within a
window on a 486 using some form of client.
