Do you have an example that uses GA/EOR?  I'd be interested in checking
it out but neither of the muds I play (3k&OD, both LPC) do much w/ telnet
negotations. OD actually responds to AYT/AreYouThere by printing '[Yes]'
3k is silent.  Both have a bug (LPC generic?) where they eat your next
char of input after IAC+AYT.

I have a spanky automapper around here, I'll try and get it cleaned up
and checked in to the sandbox soon.  Prompt detection is unreliable on
many muds so it requires a followup command after you try and move like
rating/area/where.  This also gives a little info about the room you
are in, so it isn't too painful.  If the mud has an 'exits' that would
be good too.

I'll checkin some updates to sandbox/leantin.  I've been working from a
local CVS repository, it looks like sourceforge has spread my SSH keys
around so I'll move over to sandbox/leantin.

The leantin net (sock.py) only handles ECHO and MCCP, but it should be
easy to add other stuff using the read_negotiation/write_negotiation
methods.  If you let me know of some muds that use LINEMODE or TERMTYPE
I'll try them out.

I'd like to check it out.  You can email it or just check it in and not
worry about people running CVS (are there many?).
