Even if you choose to not use a commercial 'Helper' program, you will still have to use a terminal program of some kind. The game server, the TWGS, is just a program running on a separate computer. The address of the game server and a few details about the games offered are usually put in a 'Game Bang' announcement on various tradewars websites by the host, or sysop. Example: ClassicTW.com Rebang Forum

or more specifically;

runawayproton.dyndns.org:223

In the above address, "runawayproton.dyndns.org" is the server address with 223 being the 'port' on which the server is accessible.

Some examples of simple terminal programs:

PuTTY

Zoc-Windows

Zoc-Mac OS

Personal tools
