This probably isn't the place to put this but it looked as good as any other. Anyways, I was wondering if you could host 2 servers off of one computer at the same time. Ex- A mud server on one hard drive in a computer and a file server on another hard drive on the same computer. If it is possible could you try and explain how it would work a little so I might understand it.
Thanks much,

Sure, that is why MUDs have ports. Each port identifies a unique service, eg. MUD a from MUD b.
It is a bit hard to change the port of the precompiled executable from this site, for reasons that were discussed recently in another post, but if you use Cygwin, for instance, you might start them up like this ...
cd /smaug-a/area
../src/smaug 4000 &
cd /smaug-b/area
../src/smaug 5000 &
This would start up a copy of SMAUG in the "smaug-a" directory on port 4000, and another copy in the "smaug-b" directory on port 5000.
Then your players just connect to your IP address using the appropriate port.
I think I get it now, thanks for answering my question so quickly.
