it's up right now, and since you said you've been trying for months, i would guess that you have some local issues.
are you using the default windows terminal program?
if so, step one is to get something half decent, you may wish to do a google search for (operating system) mud client
(like windows mud client)
many of us use zmud, or portal, or mushclient
step two is to see if you are behind a router, another computer, or firewall. - if so, post here with details
disabling all other running software is a good way to troubleshoot.
then, try this address-
host: http://www.dark-legacy.com
port: 9898
you may also try
host: 64.124.186.158
port: 9898
A connection problem?

try using the www. in front of your hostname
i just tried it without the www and it didnt work
and yeah, i would say using tintin++ would be the way to go in Linux

try to ping the server
see if you get a response
if you do, then type
telnet http://www.dark-legacy.com 9898
try visiting the website with your web browser too
you can also try other client programs, like PuTTY
but i think the problem lies in your networking somewhere, maybe see if you can install extra telnet 'packages' that you may have seen when you first installed Linux.
and if you use the accellerated X windows system, or whatever, try using the gui to connect.
maybe upgrade network card drivers too?
just random thoughts off the top of my head.

What that means is that it's either being 'forwarded' or that it's being handled by a 'firewall rule'
it could be opened, or closed.
I would check into that further, and see just what ports your firewall is affecting.

If its still not working try what i did to get my internet back: turn off all your internet security and it might let you through again.

It's evil little gnomes in your interweb. You can buy a can of Gnome-Begone from your local Wal-Mart. Spray directly on CPU. If that doesn't work, submerge the damned thing in the bathtub and plug it in.
That or try a proxy server.
