Connecting to a MOO via a web browser.
With the proliferation of WWW information and use, many people are now learning about MOOs through Web pages. These pages usually have a "Connect to the game" link, but people unfamiliar with how to connect to MOO games often get an error message when they try to access such links.There are two methods of connecting to a MOO - telnet, or a client program specifically designed to play these games. Versions of both exist for most operating systems. Most Web browsers do not incorporate the telnet protocol into their programming. However, most Web browsers can be configured to launch a telnet program when you select a telnet:// link.
Most client programs can't be used with a Web browser. But as they are specifically designed for playing these games, they offer many useful features that are unavailable in a telnet program.
