This chat server is running PerlMUD 2.0, by Boutell.
Dorm A
This is a very long room, lined with multi-tiered bunks. Flimsy partitions between the tiers may provide a modicum of privacy. These spartan living quarters could house hundreds, many of whom are sleeping here right now. There are archways on the north and east walls.

Okay, now what?
Once you've got an account, you can test out ifMUD with the**web client** (or, if that doesn't work due to firewall issues, the web client proxy). However, using telnet or a MUD client is highly recommended. You can find a reasonably up-to-date list of clients at The Mud Connector, specifically on their Mud Clients page.
NOTE: If you are accessing the mud with the web page, you must type quit and then leave the web page in order to be logged out. For this reason, you are strongly advised to use a MUD client to connect! To reach _if_MUD via telnet or with a MUD client, use this address:
