Is it possible (and if so how?) to use xboard as an interface to FICS. If
you only have a dial up shell account?

>From my account I can telnet to FICS but since I cannot always use my PPP
connection on my machine at home (my usage is limited to 6hours per day),
is there a way I can get xboard to log into my shell account and telnet
from there the way that ZICS (the DOS program) does?

Thanks in advance.
