Most of them should still be valid. If anyone has any luck with them please swap info on this board. I can give further info on some but that would spoil your fun!! The information in this file is to help all the people who have a modem and have not yet experienced playing MUD. Firstly, there is no point calling Essex outside MUD hours, because there is not a lot you can do on the computer, and it angers the authorities at Essex University. That will probably ban MUD for a few weeks. The offical hours for MUD are :- 0200-0600 Weekdays 2200-0600 Sat & Sun, & Bank Holidays. If you have a PSS NUI, calling MUD is easy. All you have to do is call your local PSS exchange and then log on with your NUI. The NUA for Essex University is A2206411411. Here are the phone numbers of some of the PSS exchanges in the London area :- 1200/75 baud : 407 8344 and 928 3399. 300/300 baud : 825 9421 and 928 9111 : 0753 6141. 1200/1200 baud : 928 2333 and 928 1737. The other way to call Essex is to use JANET which can be found on :- 1200/75 baud : 831 6181 300/300 baud : 831 6171 Once connected to Janet, type CALL A49600000 (five 0's) which will connect you to Essex. If it says CALL CONNECTED and then some numbers and then drops the line that means either all the lines to Essex are engaged or something has gone wrong at Essex. All you can do is try calling again. The following intructions apply both to PSS and JANET. Once you are connected to Essex type the following : SET HOST 1 LOGIN 2653,2653 At the password prompt GUESTS (not GUESS). If you call Essex outside hours, or MUD is not running it will say "Ppn not valid this time of day" and throw you off. Once you have entered the password you can start playing MUD. RU MUD (and you are in. You can also type RU ROCK or RU VALLEY, other smaller versions of MUD.) Once you are playing mud you can type HELP, INFO, COMMANDS for instructions on how to play MUD and a list of the available commands. I have tested the 300 baud numbers but have not been able to try any of the 1200/75 or 1200/1200 baud numbers, because I only have a 300 baud modem, so there may be inaccuracies in them. If you have any problems concering MUD, please do not hesitate to contact me, Paul Jones, on this board (the London Underground) and I will try to help you. If you know of a number for Janet in other parts of the country why not share it with all of us and leave me a message. Bye, Paul Jones P.S. Recently there seems to have been a change at Essex. The mud hours seem to now be 0200-0600, 7 days a week. MERLIN BB'S (0443) 834179
