Is there a MUSHclient for MAC users available?
I have a couple of people who would like to play but they are on MAC systems (spit) and the MushClient link I sent them dosen't seem to work for them.

There is currently no Mac version. There are plans to develope a Linux version (which should run on OS X with little change), but when this is going to happen... One 'big' issue is making the scripting work, since it relies on features unique to Windows. Note however that it can be run, with scripting disabled at the command line when running it, under Wine.

I am in fact running MUSHclient on my Mac, so it can be done. However that is by using VirtualPC which effectively emulates a PC, so I can run Windows 95. ;)

ok so what can I tell the MAC users to get so they can access the game? Is there a telnet client out there for MACs?

Hmm. Ironically there is a post on this on another forum I sometimes read. If you have pre-OS X then try Rapscallion or Savitar. However, there are apparenty quite a few OS X specific ones around to, at least five on the first google search. Or you can just look here:

Which lists the same as the search and several more. Now if any of them are any good at all.... lol

I think I used Savitar on one of my Macs a while back and it worked fine. Even had XML file format too. ;)
