I don't know if it's wise to call it good (i've actually added features 
to my personal copy of the source code because it was inadequate for my 
needs), but I use a port of tintin called ytin (I migrated to it from 
wintin because of certain issues, but can't recall what those issues 
were though), and when I do I have to use
#toggle skiptelnetseq 3
to avoid it sending 'garbage' to the mud when it first connects.  Not 
sure if that's related to the problem your friends are experiencing, if 
your MUD doesn't handle standard telnet sequences.
