tofacilitate interaction with a MUD server, and can be used in place of the standard
telnet command. Features: Separate input an output windows, avoiding the most
annoying aspect of using telnet, in which the incoming text is interspersed with what you type.

Active hosts window, which allows you to see which hosts you are connected to, and which have new activity since you last viewed that window. You may also switch between them by clicking on the hosts. Fully asynchronous sockets programming model, not locking up your computer while waiting for a network event to occur. User selectable fonts. ( Courier or other non-proportional fonts only to allow for proper positioning of on-line ASCII art.) Several word wrapping options including 80 columns / window size, and character or word wrapping. Floating / dockable toolbar allowing easy access to common commands.
