When I left they had one pentium room, one xterm room, two dumb terminal rooms (the only places we were allowed to mud from) and a large number of 386/486s. The University was probably below average in such equipment (the comp/sci/maths department was quite small with its own site), but I know of far worse places. I would say the typical mudder at University these days plays from within a window on a 486 using some form of client.
