Hey nice, I play Dragonrealms myself. When I first saw this app I thought of using it as a MUD client as well. I already had DR set up to play on a remote unix server so all I had to do was connect to my remote server to play via my blackberry using Midpssh.
As for connecting, I ended up creating a text login app via a shell script which calls a perl script to get the keycode from simu, then hook it into a unix FE called TinyFugue to play.
I have a slightly confusing howto on how to install this onto a unix server (root access or even on a non-root remote server)
here at my site and the rest of the files in the surrounding directory
here.
Honestly it's been years since I've modified or looked at the code for these, but I'm sure if you know a bit about shell scripts and perl they shouldn't be too hard to understand and modify.
I'm assuming they key encryption for MO would be the same as DR as it's from the same company, so you would only really need to modify the login and port information in DRlogin and maybe the key layout in DRentry if MOs key is sent in a different format.
Of course there probably a quicker way to do this, but I wanted the ease of just having to type in my DR username and password on my blackberry to connect to DR, which it does and does well. Though no real scripting ability which is kind of annoying.
Hopefully though maybe you can get what you need to throw something of your own together from my info there.
