[gopher] This game I have been working on might be of interest to Gopherites...

[Kevin Veroneau]

I actually tried Putty last night and it doesn't follow RFC making it not work sadly.  I am working on a vt100 emulator made in SDL, so it will be fully cross platform, and even support game specific features.  This client will also be able to play .MOD files as you play the game.   Not sure why so many telnet clients out there don't follow RFC, and base their settings solely on how the UNIX telnetd works.  I can't maintain a server that supports every single type of client quirk.
