well im always accepting suggestions, at least we're a development team that's accesible (as compared to megamuds)
and our code is available aby CVS, you get the most current version (current as in hourly current)
we intend to put in web based script checking and SMS messaging
of course thatll be months in the future

the point is to be able to put the client on a remote server, or run a server with the program as a daemon so you dont have to have your computer on all night to script. the program is run in text (ncurses) so you can telnet into the server from a mac or windows if you wanted. making another client for windows is kind of overdone...
can somebody post the url to this other fellows linux efforts?

I am the author of the Linux terminal that was mentioned. It is very similar in look and feel to megamud, but with a number of improvements. The combat, spellcasting, and message/response systems are much more sophisticated. It is in the 'beta' stages, check out the these threads:
