You don't need to know ftp or anything wierd.  What you do need to
know is the name (or ip number) of the machine the mud is on, and
the port number the mud is on.  These will be listed in the mud lists
that make the rounds.

For example, if the mud is at a.school.edu, on port 3000,
on UNIX you do:

  telnet a.school.edu 3000

and on VMS, do:

  telnet a.school.edu/port=3000

Then it will prompt you for a name usually (for lpmuds, etc).  This
is not hard, since if anything is out of the ordinary, it will usually
be explained.  On tinymuds and the like, syntax is different, but
usually explained in the login message.

If you want to look around first (*always* look around first, please),
use the name "guest" (unless the login screen says different - you did
read the login screen I hope) which will usually take anything as a
password.  If you like the mud, then feel free to create a real
character, by logging in again, but this time using a pseudonym name
that you make up.  If that character already exists, it will ask for
a new password.  (if the word "new" isn't in there, it's probably
an existing player, so try another name)
