Web Embedded Telnet Client

I mostly wanted to just put this in here as a suggestion, but a cool thought is for users like myself who have restricted access at work. We need to have some means of being able to connect to the mud and I have seen this done on another mud's website where embedded into the webpage they have a telnet screen that you can use to login and play. I don't know if this is even possible or if it will even help poor souls such as myself out.

Aleister's going to have to field this one since he's the master of the webpage, and he's donating his time, bandwidth and server space to the webpage. My only useful feedback (I deleted a bunch of less-useful feedback) is to point out that embedded java-based clients like that tend to have a relatively large footprint and Aleister is kind enough to be providing all of these to us for free.

Aleister is no doubt very kind as it is, and this is merely a suggestion. What can I say I am so addicted that I even have to play this game at work =p Well Aleister O kind one I will donate gold to you if we get this up and running.

Hmm... I had other useful feedback that I thought I'd left in here but apparently didn't.

There are clients out there that don't require installations to be run. I think fireclient and pueblo can both be run standalone off of a flash drive.

Feed the addiction, for it is fickle, and will throw tantrums if ignored.

Well and I did try that, however when trying to connect to port 8889 it wont work. The company has that port blocked so no chance of getting that done, however if you had it embedded through a website you would be running on a regular HTTP port I believe.... So it would be like Host>23>8889

This could really help the game.
