*chuckle*..
I've been working on one as of late myself. I think banging out a MUD is a pretty common task for certain types of programmers. It just seems to cover a very nice range of interesting problems from UI, to input validation, resource management, network communication, etc...
I am interested why you didn't like communication via telnet? Also why the need for a custom client?
With that said, all I can say is POE. Amazing beautiful POE (can you tell what I've been using as my base? ;) ).
I'll be keeping an eye on this, but for now I think I'll stick with scratching my own itch.
MMMMM... Chocolaty Perl Goodness.....
