I grabbed it just now, and it's not terribly exciting.  It's bare-bones.  One would
be better suited to run NCSA Telnet.  The only thing MUD Caller has over
NCSA is separate input and output windows, and a nicer scrollback environment.
You can't even change text colors with MUD caller.

Note:  This doesn't mean you shouldn't get MUD caller.  I'm just saying that it
needs some work, and you can send suggestions to the author for more features 

(I don't have the author's address, I just deleted the package).

Cheers,

I have been using Tinyfugue under a slip connection via TELBIN. One thing
I noticed is the lag between the character being sent to the unix host
and back to my screen. I know CSLIP or PPP would improve this but our
switcher has only normal SLIP. I have also noticed programs such as login
and ncftp etc. switch the terminal into local mode for input and then back
to remote mode when needed. Anyone know how hard this would be to code into
Tinyfugue? I tried manually telling telnet to use local mode but then I got
three copies of everything I typed....!
