Hmm. That's just what I'm working on now. Stole the code from earlier
stuff. Do you handle all of the RFC's, including things like LINEMODE?
I was planning on cleaning up my stuff when done and offering it as an
example of telnet handling. Two examples are likely better than one!

Perhaps that a lot of those writing servers from scratch are doing it
mostly for fun? Either that or are doing commercial projects where the
use of outside code might present legal problems?
:-)
I'd be game to do an in-MUD programming language component, but I betcha
few people would like the language (mostly strongly typed, syntax not
at all like C, etc.)
