Anyone play MUD's?

Multi-User Dungeon.

Text-based online RPGs, typically.

Anyone know of a MUD that can be played through a mean firewall?

Obviously, no FTP will work....

i may be missing the point of the question, but ftp isn't needed to mud, just telnet. if you wanted to start your own mud, ftp was useful to download the initial mudcode (ie circle etc)

of course where i went to school, they disabled the telnet ports, and set up a java interface to simulate telnet so i wasn't able to mud from certain computers after that point...

Try ZMUD client? Same thing happened at my school re: telnet so I downloaded ZMUD and was able to use that.

Yep. For those completely clueless, I tend to ask them if they ever heard of Everquest. If I'm lucky and they have, I'd just tell them imagine an online game similar but completely text-based.

Telnet or ssh. Depends on the settings of your server.
