At this point, you might want to look into a better telnet client. If you already have a good client, or are leery of downloading (though I promise you SimpleMU is small and safe and free), then skip past this section to Step 5: Getting a Character. Otherwise, read on and I'll talk you through the installation and setup process for SimpleMU, which is a basic client to get you on your feet. If you later decide you'd like a different one, just google telnet clients and you'll get pages full of 'em. For now, this will do.
