I play a MOO that doesn't have GCMP capabilities. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out a way to stop the game from kicking me after a few minutes. I tried using Mushclient combined with a this plugin a player posted on the boards and found that it worked:
This is what the plugin looks like
I use Linux and prefer having such a solution on mudlet where I play all my text based games, plus not having to use WIne on my machine. Can anyone help me by telling me how to go about implementing this in mudlet?

That plugin seems to be sending the Telnet
No
OPeration sequence every two and a half minutes and I think you can quickly get the same effect by creating a "Timer" with the editor and setting the script area to contain something like:
local TN_IAC = 255
local TN_NOP = 241
local telnetSequence = string.char( TN_IAC, TN_NOP )
sendSocket( telnetSequence )
then set the time interval to 2 minutes 30 seconds as the original in that URL used and enable the timer when you are connected...
