Question

I am running a MUD/MUSH/MU* server on my own PC. How do I connect to it without dialing into the Internet?

Answer

Connect to IP address 127.0.0.1. Alternatively, type "localhost" as the name of the server. In either case, you will connect to your own PC, without having to use your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
