squidsoft.net's ip address is: 65.5.228.114.
You'd simply make an entry like this in the .muddle file
site="squid" addr="65.5.228.114" port="7777" init="squid1"
then you'd type (from muddle's command prompt)
connect squid
It would then connect to the mud, and run the init commmands you've
placed in the squid1 configuration section.
The squid1 entry might look like this:
in="squid1" out="guest^Jguest^J"
This would send guest twice after muddle connected to the mud,
thereby filling in both the username and password for the mud.
The carrot symbol is a shifted number 6, and the J (must be upper
case) is a line feed character, and is required after each command
you wish to send to the mud.
a carrot M might work too, but depending on the raw state of the
socket, it may or may not behave properly, so I always use a line
feed char instead. :)
Anyway, it's really not as complicated as it sounds here.
On the other hand, you can use telnet to make your connection too.
under terminal, open a new connection, and just type in (as you did)
mudname portnumber, and that will connect you as well, no need for a
mud client. The advantage of a client is the ability to have
triggers, macros, and let the client keep track of your login
information.
Telnet worked years before clients existed, and will probably still
work for years to come too, so if the whole mud client thing doesn't
work for you, that's ok, telnet can do the job.
