Why not instead of working on a new interface, develop a scripting
language for an interface.  Use a language like HTML to specify the
transfer method for graphics and the such, then allow the MUD to send
what kind of frames it wants... etc...  This way it is still easy to
write multiplatform (telnet is still used) but you have a powerful way
of marking up the text in such a way as to write a GUI from it.
