MUD clients:
A comparison of MUD clients and a small list of MUD clients in (mostly) ABC
order (see also Connect)
and where to get them.
Generally speaking, a MUD client is more powerful and userfriendly than a raw
connection via 'telnet': At the least, "command-line-editing" and
a "command history" of previous commands to correct typos.

If you would prefer an encrypted and secured connection to Nemesis,
but your preferred MUD client does not support
SSL/TLS,
you may think about tunneling and securing your sessions via
Stunnel
(homepage).
See also: Alternatives & options about SSL/TLS
in the Connect section.
1) source code: You only get the program code and you
have to compile it yourself. This is recommended for experienced users only.
For some Unix-like operating systems there might
be a ported and/or also compiled and ready-to-use package of this client:
Have a look at the website etc. of your operating system/distribution.
