     Does anyone have ftp site where I can get clients to hook onto Dikumud??
   Please email them or post to me quickly. Thanks

I suggest you get MyMud, an emacs lisp program I wrote a few months
ago.

While most work has been done on the LPMud support in MyMud, Dikumud
comes second in support and the structure of DikuMud is such that most
of the LPMud features apply equally to DikuMud. Mymud runs under emacs
and hence only requires little disk space (about 40-50 kBytes today)
and has a large number of neat features. Starting with two windows
(one for transcript , one for input, both editable with the full power
of emacs), auto-navigator (that is: you enter the name of a location
you want to go to and mymud figures out the path and moves you there),
multiple commands on one line, command pacing (nice for Muds which
only accept one command at a time), command completion, auto-follower,
auto-spellcaster, character status display (name, hps, sps, XP a.s.o.)
in status line a.s.o.

But (IMHO) the nicest feature of Mymud is that it is extremely easy to
extend and add features if you know any emacs lisp. 

Enough advertising !

Get Mymud.el from you friendly neighborhood emacs archive or mail me.
Current version is 1.9, altough changes since 1.8 haven't been too
great. If you can't find it mail me.
