Oh-ho-ho... and here you will enter into a holy war on the scale of VI vs. Emacs but with about 1k people in total that care about it. In my time I've used MushClient, SimpleMU and zMUD, all of which I can endorse (but MushClient was probably my favorite). I've also heard people rave about TinTin.
Most MUDs (including SoI) do fully support telnet, but get richer if you use a client that allows intelligent logging, macros, multi-channel support and better text highlighting. If you're curious there's a nice wiki page about the different clients available.

I will look into these ones then.

Is the wiki page you are referring to on Wikipedia or elsewhere?
