You can visit schMOOze with Telnet (a software application), but it is much easier to use client software (another application). You can find information about software at Yoshi's schMOOze homepage: http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~awaji/schMOOze/ENG/client.html.

Steps:

1. Configure the client software
2. Connect to schmooze
3. At the entrance gates, type connect guest. Follow the on-screen directions to give yourself a name and to describe yourself.
4. Practice basic MOO commands
