That's what I was thinking. Store the player name as a cookie
on the playing machine. Might cause some issues if you play from
more than one machine, if a connection drops without being
formally quit on the mud server, but nothing any worse than
what the current telnet-based system has to deal with.

Is that insecure? Can someone forge a cookie and pretend to
be another player? Can you add a timestamp or a password or
some such to get around that?
