xeitel simple mud client

Last Updated 15th May 2005.

xeitel is simple resilient mud client written for Microsoft Windows OS's. It is designed for use of the runner who wishes to run while not having to worry about the software crashing on them.

Since it was created in 1999 it has several overhauls, but has always tried to keep to the spirit of the games it was created to connect to. XeiTel will run on Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 & XP I presume it will run on NT, but this has not been tested.

looks like

Download xeitel 1.4.4 (approx 6mb)
Download xeitel 1.4.3 (exe patch only/use 1,4,2 first - 1.4 meg)
Download xeitel readme (110k)

Do not download this if you are looking for autowalkers, auto mappers that in my view give you an "advantage" that was not intended by the original mud designers. Also xeitel will display passwords to the screen as they are entered. This will is unlikely to change because I like this feature and xeitel is not designed as a general purpose telnet application (also I type badly, so it helps me)..
