Federation, a multi-player game (non-MUD) that was on AOL for a while used a
system like that, and it still works now that it's on the web. I don't know
how they did it, and they might not share secrets with ya or anything, but you
can ask them...
Anyway, it would connect players into a special part of the game, maybe even
on another server...
hazed@ibgames.net is the person in charge of the actual game, but (and I'm not
sure this is correct) you can e-mail the original programmer at (maybe)
alan@ibgames.net, or is it alenton@ibgames.net? It says at their website
anyway.
website, btw is at www.ibgames.net. Gotta have an account to play the game, at
federation.ibgames.net:23
Thanks,
