I personally use Mac OS X and *nix mostly. I use TinyFugue (tf) as a client, running in a terminal. I wish we had something similar to zMud, but alas, we do not.
I have kind of a nice setup, though. TinyFugue itself is installed on a server computer I have in my basement. This computer is set up to listen on port 125 for SSH connections. Upon connecting and logging in, I see a prompt of MUDs I want to connect to (Aetolia, Imperian, Lusternia basically). Upon selecting one, the server loads up tf with the settings and files for the MUD I chose. It works pretty well, as I can access my settings, triggers, and aliases from anywhere with an SSH client.
In addition, I have been painstakingly working on porting and heavily modifying a development mapper from another MUD to work with Lusternia. It's not exactly an 'automapper' -- as you must manually do any overlapping exits and other things (and will get really messed up if you don't know what you're doing), but it works well enough for autowalking and the like. It works by creating a proxy between your client and Lusternia, so it runs in the background and directly interrupts commands you send to it (and doesn't send them to Lusternia), and can parse and modify things Lusternia is sending. It's written in C in case anyone was wondering.

So now that I've spieled on about mappers and what-have-you... I'm Just wondering what operating system and, more importantly, what clients you all were using for Lusternia.

Hmph! Everyone knows 98 towers greatly over ME. Any school network tech who deserves any sort of financial compensation for his work should have the school on Windows 2000 anyway.
it gets moved around a lot heh, from one room to another to watch movies n stuff. I know, wow, this lil girl can pick up and tote her eight year old compy around the house. Bravo for meee 
Windows XP and zMUD.
My maps never come out very nice... especially with New Celest... it's all hilly like...
