Mope ran on an IBM Thinkpad via a Bulldog ADSL connection in London. This was fast for consumer broadband at the time (the first to offer 2MB/512KB) but latency was an issue for users compared to more professionally-hosted talkers.
The name was a parody of "Meep Towers".

The talker is (was?) based on the codebase, "Sensi-Summink", a EW-Too derivative.

Information presented here was - at least in part - sourced from my own fallible recollection, and the talker listing on spodlist.org.

It's highly likely that most of the links presented here haven't worked for years; if you have any updates or spot any errors, please get in contact.
