Virtually anyone with an Internet connection can reach a MUD, using the Telnet feature of their computer. Raw Telnet isn't recommended, however. Instead, it's best to use software such as SimpleMU, MUSHClient, Savitar or Rapscallion. Some MUDs actually offer their own client software and still others are playable via web browsers.
Once you've connected to a game, you'll need to use a text-based interface to talk to other players. Often, you can type HELP or +HELP to get a run-down on useful commands, depending on the codebase that runs the game.
It's usually helpful also to peruse a game's website, if it has one, before hurling yourself into the thick of things.
