What about a different kind of an interface between MUDS?  Maybe the first
time you enter another MUD you must do so as guest and apply for an 
Identification card of some sort.  This way when you walk from one mud
to another:

	1.  If you have the ID card it is checked with the local DB
	    of ID cards.  If there is a match, you get in...

	2.  If you don't have an ID card you are welcomed as guest and
            have to go through the process of getting an ID card.

The ID card could have some special information on it such as an encrypted
password.  This way you could have different passwords to different MUDS
without having to remember them.  Does this sound like a good idea?
