IF you're using NVDA, press NVDA+numpad 4 untill you hear main window, then use the numpad 7 and 9 keys to review the output window!
I'm hoping for better ways to review the output window, but this is what we have with the initial testing client and is awesome so far
the alt button does not work to open menu bars at the moment. please use object navigation for the time being, and the mudlet hotkeys.
Here's the issue for it
$1
If you like mudlet to not announce your input commands, go to preferences by hitting alt+O, then go to the input tab, and check these two settings: auto clear the input line after you send text and show the text you sent. Then hit save.

think I'll stick to MUSHclient for the time being. sure, you have to install a plugin, but all the controls are native windows apart from the output.
