Funny you mention that. I started playing MUDs @ 2400 baud. You could literally watch each letter being written out. When 16.8k came out, my first thought was "how can anyone read this fast?" I thought MUDs were doomed... but, you get used to it. You will figure out what's actually important and what can be ignored. Someone else mentioned the 'brief' command, which shortens room descriptions, and that is a good start. After you log in, just take your time, there's no rush...
