Another possibility for excluding "standard" clients (my situation) -
Having your server mounted behind a firewall which only allows incoming
traffic over smtp, http, and ssh ports.
You can set up a "dynamic webpage" type client, or you can set up a
forwarded "shell" account (which only forwards to the local mud telnet
port), either through their favorite ssh client, or through a web applet
like (http://javassh.org/).
