Using GMud to Connect to AN

GeNewIc MUD Client for Winsock, version 1.9b
(C) 1995, GeNewIc and Daniel Lee Kelly II , All rights reserved.

GMUD is designed to facilitate interaction with a MUD server, and can be used in place of the standard telnet command.

This program requires Windows 3.1 with Win32s 1.2 or later or Windows NT or Windows 95, and Winsock to run. A 32 bit winsock client is required under Win95

Many of our residents have found GMud to be the best way to connect to our talker. Before downloading, if you're a computer novice please read through these instructions first. It may be wise to even print them so you can refer to them as you go along.
