MUD Clients and Telnet
     The simplest way to connect to Alanthia is through
    a telnet client. Most versions of windows came with a
    microsoft telnet client or one can be easily downloaded.
    Telnet isn't the most beautiful way to connect, though. The
    best, easiest, and most enjoyable program to use is
    a MUD Client. MUD Clients are basically over-glorifed
    telnet clients, but their added features make game play easier
    and more sophisticated. For example, a typical telnet client
    will not show Alanthia in color. If you do plan on using a
    telnet client, be sure to turn local echo on so you can see
    what your typing as you type. Below is a list of MUD clients.
    The immortals of Alanthia can make no guarantee or comments
    as to the quality of these clients.
