8.2 How do I make these MUs look right on my screen?
How to set your system up so that a MU* looks reasonable can be a tricky
puzzle, and because there are so many different configurations, I'll
just give some quick tips:
1. If you use a terminal program to dial an Internet account,
emulate a vt100 if at all possible. You may have to play with
your screen-wrap setting, as well. You'll know if you need it.
Screen-wrap can also be controlled within some telnet's.
2. Be sure your terminal setting matches your terminal. :)
3. If you're using telnet, you'll find that other players' typing
interferes with your typing, causing some strangeness on the
screen. This is inevitable, and unfortunate. The only solution
is a client program (see below).
The easiest way to defeat all screen problems is to compile a MU* client
program to use instead of telnet. The tinyfugue client is available by
anon-ftp from glia.biostr.washington.edu, /pub/tinyfugue. For more
information about clients, read the MUD FAQ in rec.games.mud.announce.
