Yes, thanks, I'm aware most MUDs use telnet, but in my opinion, that's a barrier to entry to most users.
And thanks for the link, but it makes me sad to see a repro that was last updated 5 years ago.

You have to have a server in-between to do straight telnet. (You can't do a vanilla TCP/IP connection from the browser.)
So I'd like to have WebSockets + xterm.js taking the place of telnet + terminal...
And then I'd like a .Net API that looks like curses, or like this GUI, or something... and that persists the console (like tmux or something), so if the user re-connects, they get their view restored "automagically."
