if you use jaws try to read with jaws cursor.

Sabrina, what mud client are you using?

I would avoid telnet like the plague, it just doesn't work well with screen readers even at the best of times. Even GMud is better than telnet, at least it's more reliable for reading and you can correct typing errors easier.

I used to use Monkeyterm before I found about VIP MUD. But now, it's all about Vip!

I generally find mush client easier to work with than monkey term, but VIP is even easier and can play multiple simeltaneous sounds. Mush client interrupts any sound already playing when it tries playing another which can be a bit of a pain if you use lots of sounds in some games, like Miriani.

Try VIPMud it's great.

Hi, neo.
I can send it to you once I return ome from school.
HTH.

Don't bet on it. The random attacks seem as common as ever.

That's the issue with a game area you can cross known space in the space of 20 seconds in an expensive enough ship, and can tell exactly where people are thanks to the flight control scanner. Not a good combination in a game with enforced PVP really, since this and many other thintg weight matters extremely heavily in favour of the attackers be they pirates or just people who think it's funny to blow people up for the heck of it. *cough* interdictors *cough* twink *cough*

hey? Darn, I think it won

I'm going to give the fair warning about mushclient that hasn't been mentioned yet: it's complex and has a bug with the jaws scripts.  Complexity isn't an issue, but the bug can be:
    On some muds, the most recent line of text is not followed by a newline character, the character that specifies a charage return to use the technical term.  The functions the jaws plugin use rely on this character to call a certain function.  Basically, if your prompt doesn't end in a newline, you can't read it on time, and will get it when new text comes through.
    the fix:
    On many muds, the prompt can be customized to include a newline character.  On those that it can't, it does more than half the time.  If the prompt still refuses to read, try turning it off.  If you then miss some text and get it late (you can't possibly miss that fact), use a second client.
    I personally have 2 clients installed: monkeyterm and mushclient.  Each is good in it's own set of circumstances--mainly prompt issues.  Mushclient does offer a more complex trigger and alias system though, though it's really complex and can be overwhelming at first.

probably because of the jaws accessibility issues with monkeyterm.
