I agree. This message sounds like it's written specifically for an in- 
web-page client.

It is possible that the mud either expects to always receive some  
signal from their client, or that MudWalker is responding in a way  
that triggers that message.

Either way, if the mud refuses to let you continue, then either they  
only intend to allow their own client (unlikely, if they told you the  
port to connect to), or they have a bug in their server which  
unintentionally keeps out MudWalker's particular behavior.
