How would one get into one of these MUDs? I realize these are quite old, but I can't even find out how to load this up. Maybe I am missing the point here. That, or I need to install Java.

There are some projects like https://writtenrealms.com that are trying to modernize the MUD and lower the barrier to entry, but they are still coming together and most of the ones with an established player base / full feature set are still the traditional telnet setup.

Using telnet :) The link is on the front page: telnet://iconoclast.org:7777

Unfortunately, it looks hugged to death (?), cause I'm getting a connection refused.
