You say.. 'occasionally CF lags up'... Does this happen at all times you're logged into CF? Can you be logged in anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours and it still happens? Or it only happens after a certain amount of time. If the latter is true, then it's possible Mud Master has some sort of memory leak where it refuses to operate after a certain amount of time. I've seen it happen with many programs. (i.e. Windows)
Alternatively, if this happens just randomly... there's another question that needs answering. Does it freeze and then the actual program crashes, or do you get some sort of error message and get disconnected? (what is the message?)... or do you see a few lines of text, then the program dies?
'luck.

> The situation is as follows: I use Mud Master to MUD, and a local LYNX server to browse the forum and Internet while I do so (having a fondness for simple, plain text). I connect to both using the same dial-up server. However, occasionally CF lags up with Mud Master, eventually 'crashing' and forcing me to log back in, at which point I get the dreaded 'You are already playing' message and wake up naked at the altar. The strange thing is that, when CF freezes, I can log in using raw telnet with LYNX and continue as if nothing happened. Is this a problem with my client, or a router somewhere, or what? Help! :P
