Connecting to MCM

You can connect to MCM via any standard telnet client, or any MUSH-specific client, as well as most MUD clients.

• Connect to MCM directly with your telnet client by either mcmush.org port 5001 or eddie.rpg-works.net port 5001 or put it into your MUSH client.
• Or you can use the Java client. It uses JamochaMUD, which is usable via Java on most platforms. This requires a working Java installation on your browser. Learn more about it here.
• Quick Connect using JamochaMUD here if you already know how to use JamochaMUD and have read the instructions indicated above.

If you're looking for a good MUSH client, there are a number available.

• JamochaMUD is easy to use and uses Java, so it can be used on most platforms.
• MUSHClient is a frequently used Windows MUSH client.
• Tinyfugue is the old standby for Unix and Linux systems, and is text based, but powerful. Windows and Mac OS X ports also exist.
• PuTTY is not a dedicated MUSH client, but is an excellent telnet/SSH client for Windows which can also be used for MUSHing.
• zMUD and cMUD are two popular clients for Windows. cMUD is the successor to zMUD.
• SimpleMU is another popular client for Windows.
• The Mac OS MUD Zone is not a client, but it is a web site that gathers Mac specific information for MUSH and MUD users. It lists several clients.
• As a last resort, you can try the telnet application that came with your system. Call up a command prompt and type telnet mcmush.org 5001 - however, it is strongly recommended you use a regular MUSH client unless you know what you are doing or have no other alternative. Raw telnet can have odd things that come up if you don't know what you're doing.
