Actually if you have a team (like I do - 20+ staff), of which 5 different
people share the payments, its not that bad, plus nobody has to dedicate
their own system or have a dedicated line, AND you get to work with an
"uninvolved" 3rd party - no politics to worry about (like someone taking
over the MUD for some reason or another).
Not saying it needs high end hardware or anything, just a dedicated
connect and >some< hardware, altho the best is a processor capable of
handling whatever tasks it needs to do, a decent network interface, and a
good disk subsystem (SCSI being second best - RAID always comes in at the
top).
Fortunately, MudsRUs does use SCSI drives. They also had a Digital
Prioris, but they switched to the P2/233, and set the Prioris up for the
Quake servers, and are setting up another P2/233.
