MushLink

MushLink is primarily used on MUSHes. It uses a TCP connection in order to connect a MUD to the central server. In contrast to the other interMUD networks so far listed, MushLink's server actually connects to the MUD instead of having the MUD connect to the server. This connection consists of a bot that logs in as a special user. This user uses special commands in order to both display and receive messages from the MUD.

  • channels for chatting
  • mail for sending mail to users on other MUDs
  • mud list lets a user retrieve the list of MUDs on the network
  • tell send a message to a user on another MUD
  • who see who's online on another MUD

Software​

MushLink requires no special code to be used on a MUSH. However, a MUSH needs to support the standard MUSH commands in order for the MushLink bot to work. For MUSHs that do not support the standard MUSH commands, it is possible to emulate them.

The MushLink bot itself can be downloaded from PennMUSH web site.
