Hi, my computer locked up and I rebooted. When I tried to sign back in - the host said I was already playing and asked if I wanted to cutconn myself (this is my IMMO). But before I could do anything, the host disconnected me. This happened 3x before I had to sign in with a different character to ask that my IMMO be cutconned. Any idea why this is happening? It never happened when I was using ZMUD so I suspect it is an issue between MushClient and my MUD (Grimne).
Here is the screen:

You might have a blank line in the text to be sent after connecting. This might be taken as a "yes" answer to that question. Recent versions have a count of the number of lines above the "connect text" box, because blank lines are hard to see. If you have something like this:

(name)
(password)

but the line count shows 4 lines then there are two blanks after the name and password. Backspace them away and you should be OK.
