Can't run telnet to connect to MUDs

Hello,

Apple decided to remove Telnet, however there is a workaround.

I honestly would not recommend telnet for mudding, there are better console clients out there, such as TinTin++. Having said that, you can install Homebrew from https://brew.sh, with this single command:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

After that, type in brew install telnet and you should be good to go.

telnet was removed along with ftp in MacOS high Sierra. I would recommend not grabbing the files from another machine as they wont be updated in later version and they also could be deleted if future MacOS version check for that sort of stuff. I would reccommend getting a package manager like homebrew and grabbing an ftp client and telnet client if those are important to you. They will be kept up to date via homebrew and they wont offer wholes into your system if you use them correctly.
Question, why aren't you using a mud client like tintint++? It is way more powerful than simple (unencrypted) telnet.

It is very unlikely you will harm your mac with homebrew.
