Portal mud client MIP

I would be a bit worried about using it as it is a proprietary protocol, whose license specifically prohibits MIP being used in any other client.
Thus, if you add it, and it will take a bit of work, you are committing your players to using Portal and no other client.
I would suggest using MXP (Mud Extension Protocol) which has similar features. MXP is described on this web site, and on the zMUD web site.
MXP is currently supported by two clients: MUSHclient and zMUD, so you are not limiting players to a single client. Since it is an "open" protocol there is no reason why other clients will not support it in the future, and I believe some of the other client developers are looking at adding it.
However if you want to go ahead with MIP, take a look at the changes I suggested for adding MXP to a SMAUG server. That would be the basis, conceptually, for adding MIP.

Cool, thanks.
