Open source Mudlet is an excellent client for dungeon gaming on any OS

Maybe MUDs aren't quite as popular as they were back when 33.6 modems were the norm, but I still like kicking back from time to time and enjoying a little text-based hack-and-slash. A good mudding session is always better with a good MUD client like Mudlet, which is both cross-platform and open source.

Mudlet has all the advanced features I look for in a client, including a connection manager, scripts, aliases, triggers, timers, and a wide array of customization options. It's also got a tabbed interface, useful for MUDs that allow multisession gaming or for kicking butt on two separate servers at the same time. Keep desktop clutter to a minimum by using Mudlet's multiview, which places your open connections in tabs inside the main program window.

And since we're on a "goofing off at the office" thing lately (what with Spreadtweet and New Tab King), don't forget one advantage MUDs have over fancy new games like WOW: the pure text ones area lot less conspicuous on your desktop. Win!
