Mbo, this link will get you to hearme http://www.mudcat.org/@/popup_simple.html and can bookmarked/ addeded to your favourites. The drawback with using this link is that it will open hearme in a full browser screen and if you want to do any browsing while using hearme, you will have to start another instance of your browser.

If you right click on where it says GuestXXX, you can change your name.

As regards meeting others, most of the time, it is just luck although occastionally, someone will post to a thread in Mudcat to say they are there.

Also, do you have ICQ? It is another common meeting place for 'catters.
