I would also like to know. However, keep in mind that AJAX refers to
Javascript and XML. That means that MUDs and the like would have to
use or be compatible with the two. I know that the OpenSource
Metaverse Project (OSMP) at http://www.metaverse-project.com/ uses
XML. I don't know how well that might work for you. Seems to be C# on
the backend.
