Social MU*s usually have a keepalive option that does some silent character exchange in the background with the client every so often to keep the connection open.
- someben 12y agoHmm, do you have a specific example? (Of the MUD and client?)
- novum 12y agoParent is most likely referring to the telnet GOAHEAD character and its related SUPPRESS GOAHEAD protocol: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc858 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc858 I am the author of a MUD client for iOS[0] that, like most other clients, will capture and silently discard the GOAHEAD character. GOAHEAD is most common on MUSHes but I've seen them in a few MUDs as well.
