I've just completed a port of UnterMUD 2.4) to various modern operating systems and compilers.
UnterMUD is a programable (U language) and distributed mud server (can network muds). It's reasonably well documented.
You can download it and more ports of ancient mud servers at
MudPortsProject.
You can also find these ports in the MudMagic repository.
Have fun.
