1. Press ESC to get rid of the screen saver.
2. Enter your student ID and surname.
3. Select WINDOWS 3.1
4. Click the Commnications group
5. Click telnet. (On your home computer, you may see this as
EWAN.)
(In the Tri-Faculties Lab you can do the same thing except that you will already be in Windows. Select TELNET under the INTERNET group.)
If you have a U of C account:
6. Select the acs machine that you are connected to and click OK
7. Enter your U of C login id and password.
8. From the --> prompt enter telnet connections.moo.mud.org 3333
Important: there is a space after telnet and before 3333. No colons.
9. You should be in. Connect to your character
connect <charactername> <password> and you’re off
If you don’t have a U of C account you’ll have to make a new configuration. This is fiddly but it works. However, the backspace key probably won’t work. This will drive you crazy enough to make you get a U of C account.
6. Click “New” to make a new configuration
7. In the “Name” box, type Connections
8. In the “network address” box, type connections.moo.mud.org
9. Click the “custom” button and enter 3333 in the “port” box.
10. Click OK
11. Highlight the new Connections configuration in the list.
12. Click OK
You should see the Connections welcome screen. Type
connect <charactername> <password> and you’re off.
Tip: if you hate tiny print, select “options” and “configuration” from the title bar in the terminal window. Click “screen” and then “browse font.” Select the next size up.
Also, click the little upward-pointing triangle at the upper right part of the window to maximize the window.
NOTE: If you want to get into MOOspace on your own computer, a MOO client will really help keep text from getting mixed up. I like GMUD for Windows 95. See http://www.cs.okstate.edu/~jds/mudfaq-p2.html to download.
