To connect a MUD to the main I3 network or to one of the private I3 networks, an I3 client implementation will be needed. To facilitate this process, many open-source MUD implementations are distributed with I3 clients included. It is also possible to use the I3 specifications in order to create a custom implementation.
For those interested in creating his or her own private I3 network, there is currently only one open source server implementation that is publicly available. This implementation is Tim's implementation. It is also possible to use the I3 specifications and the inter router network specifications in order to create a custom implementation.
The latest release of the Dead Souls Mudlib contains a functional implementation of an I3 server, based on Tim's implementation, enhanced with administration commands and inter-router networking extensions.
