You can either get a host, make your own host, or use Cygwin. For Cygwin, see this: http://www.gammon.com.au/smaug/installingcygwin.htm

A useful post to read is the following: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=2293

It covers a lot of the issues involved in actually running servers, and might save a lot of frustration. It's worth a read for everybody thinking of running their own MUD server.

Yes, it's basically a linux emulator. So that means you should probably know how to use linux first.

Nick gives a lot of useful information in another page of his, including an example series of Cygwin commands that I link to here: http://www.gammon.com.au/smaug/howtocompile.htm#example
