I got my start on a DikuMUD running from the pulmonary labs at UBC (AoD, if you're still out there, thank you). I was still a high school student at the time, but fortunately there was an unprotected dialup (604-822-2222) into the NIM system, from which you simply typed in the IP address of the machine you wanted to connect to.
This was my gateway into serious programming. I'd already learned some C, but the idea of a networked multiplayer RPG really stoked my interest in network programming as I tried to write my own MUD from scratch, and it's because of this that I chose BCIT to study in the datacomm program.
