This just came up a few months ago somewhere around here in BBS land. I don't remember what the solution was, someone was able to write an MPL or MPY to address this, or they started to and it worked. I want to say, Opicron?

But yeah, Mystic won't do MUDs well, it's just straight telnet which MUDs don't operate well on. I had to gate out to my old Synchronet DoorParty setup from my new Mystic DoorParty setup and call out to MUDs from there. Synchronet has an actual MUD module that works pretty well.

Hopefully someone else can elaborate on what I'm talking about.
