So im happy i found this sub. Ive never stopped enjoying Tele-Arena
and MajorMUD. even though i havnt played either in a few years i

Try SyncTerm - http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/ - or if this doesn't work
just Google for it to find copies. Works great, 't's cross platform,
and it's open source.

Thank you, ill do that.

Also are there any travel scripts or arena scripts available?

Chrome blocked it because "SyncTerm is malicious"

Interesting, I've never seen Chrome do that before.  It was created by
Stephen Hurd who also goes by Deuce on DoveNet if you want to contact
him directly.  I haven't been on DoveNet in a while, but I assume he
still hangs out there.  But if you can get a copy it is the most
authentic modern Telnet client I've used.  It is very reminiscent of
Telix from back in the day.

First, check out the Tele-Arena Shrine if you need a refresher on game
info/mechanics:
http://tele-arena.tumblr.com/

SyncTerm is awesome for regular BBSing, but I wouldn't want to use it
to play Tele-Arena. It doesn't have macro key options or aliases so
playing with it would require a lot of frantic typing.

mtelnet is old (and Windows/OS2 only) but still works well, and
includes F-key macro support: http://mt32.bbses.info/

Neither of those have scripts though.

StarBase 21 BBS has instructions on setting up Telemate under DOSBox:
http://www.starbase21.net/telemate.html

There are Telemate scripts here:
https://github.com/bhuga/tele-arena-scripts

Or if you've ever used TinTin++, there are TT++ scripts here:
https://github.com/michael-n-kaplan/ta-scripts

Another popular client is MUSHclient (not sure if there are any
scripts out there):
http://www.gammon.com.au/downloads/dlmushclient.htm

Check out /r/majormud for more info on MajorMUD.

Thank you so much!

I remeber writing my own travel scripts in Qmodem and Telemateback in
the day but that was....so long ago.  Appreciate mang.

here's a few clients.  go into your google chrome settings to prevent
blocking of executables.

another thing  you can do is use dosbox and use it with older terminal
programs. that's fun
