Connecting
From Transformers2005 MUSH Wiki
You've looked at our wiki and want to connect? We're hosted at tf2005.net port 5555
If that means nothing to you, chances are that you're new to MUSHing. But don't let the name scare you off, connecting is really simple! Simply follow the steps below
[edit] Raw Telnet
MUSHes run on Telnet. All computers have a telnet application, but MUSHing on raw Telnet is a bit like having your teeth pulled with pain-enhancing drugs. Of course, it is the simplest way, so if you want to check us out, just click on this link: telnet://tf2005.net:5555/ and your browser should open a telnet terminal!
[edit] Java
There are a few Java MUSH applications you can use online, though their functionality is basic. Still, they are the best way of easily and quickly connecting without the horror of telnet.
Go to one of the below sites and connect to tf2005.net port 5555
- http://www.mosha.net/01-telnet-gateway/telnet.shtml - Requires registration
- http://mudconnect.com/java/Telnet - No registration, but doesn't work on all browsers
[edit] MUSH Client
Mush clients are the way to go. There's several out there, most people use them, and they are easy to use. Download one of the ones below, and connect to tf2005.net port 5555.
