A client is a program used to connect to a [[MUSH]] server over a TCP/IP connection. The oldest client program is the venerable ''telnet'' program; telnet and other remote terminal programs are adequate for connecting to a MUSH, but clients developed specifically for mudding often include several incredibly useful features beyond simply negotiating the connection and relaying text to and from the MUSH.

==Client Features==
Some key features of clients developed for mudding include:
* Word-wrapping of MUSH output
* Separation of input and output text, either into different screen regions or by redrawing partial input so it is not intermixed with MUSH output
* Scrollback of output
* Input command-history and editing
* The ability to automatically log into a given [[MUSH]] with a particular [[player]] and [[password]]
* The ability to connect to multiple MUSHes at once
* Visual or audible alerts when activity occurs in a MUSH
* Logging of MUSH output to a text file
* "Macros": client key combinations that send more extensive text to the MUSH
* "Triggers" and "hooks": scripted client actions that take place in response to output or events from the MUSH
* Support for one or more protocols for rendering MUSH output in HTML ([[Pueblo]], [[MXP]]) or playing sound ([[MSP]]).
* Communicating with Zlib-compressed data streams ([[MCCP]]) to save on server bandwidth costs.
* Transmitting plugin-specific data ([[MCP]]) out-of-band from visible text.
* Support for [[SSL]]-encrypted connections to servers that support SSL.

==Available Clients==
Below is a rough list of MU* clients out there for a variety of platforms. Choosing and picking one is a matter of preference, most have similar features and are perfectly adequate for the majority of text-gamers.
