TinyMUCKs run over telnet, so the simplest client you can use is the telnet program that comes with unix or windows. However, we strongly recommend that you do not do this. Your experience on the muck will be horrible, with problems too numerous to mention. We instead suggest you get one of many freely available TinyMud/Muck client programs.
