Yes.

No, now I'm only speaking for my own core...  On muds, many people have
several characters...  Wouldn't it be easier to switch characters without
having to leave the MOO?

-- $player:login --
redirect(player,who=$network:find_unused_connection());
#0:new_incoming_connection(who);
----

...:find_unused_connection() would return a negative object number that does
not have a net connection.

OBJ:new_incoming_connection(user)  -- A connection has been made into the MOO.
OBJ:new_outgoing_connection(user) -- A connection has been made out of the
MOO via open_network_connection()...  this code can normally be left
blank... or maybe it isn't even needed. *shrug*

Or reprogram $sys to have a more flexible login.
