    Their replies are only obtuse because you fail to see that you’re being made fun of for having such a ridiculous pedantic position about this. “Terminal” does not mean shell when you read the Telnet RFC. It means TTY. A human to machine interface. MUDs implement the Telnet protocol and provide a remote TTY. What’s running on the terminal is absolutely irrelevant.

    I'm confused. I refer you to my previous answer. Which does not specify a port, nor does it need to.

    :x: can be a PAM database?

    It's ... how I'd do it. You get a lot for free.
