  Measured in their handshakes: CHARSET, UTF-8

RhostMUSH is the fourth of the TinyMUSH-descended servers in wide use, and the
one with the most elaborate administrative model: its permission and flag system
is considerably finer-grained than its relatives', which is the usual reason a
game chooses it.

Its built-in function library is large, and softcode written for Rhost often
does not port cleanly to PennMUSH or TinyMUX without rewriting the parts that
used functions the others do not have.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM OUTSIDE

No MSSP. A pre-login WHO that answers with a count. CHARSET is negotiated.

That combination — no MSSP, a working WHO — is the MUSH family's signature, and
it is why this site probes the login screen at all. On the evidence of our own
survey the MSSP and WHO families are nearly disjoint: 28 codebases publish a
count through MSSP, seven through WHO, and only two through both.
