For the Better or Worse Category: I use Netcruiser, which is proprietary software developed for Netcom, that is a nice GUI interface, but which has some limitations. I may be running into one with regard to GUI interfaces for use on the ICS network. I'd like to be able to use one, as I am a little intimidated with using the 'bare bones' display that TeleNet provides. Especially with regard to blitz games, where time is so important a factor. The few programs I have looked at call into Telenet thru a SLIP or PPP account. I can not find an obvious way to utilize these nice programs with Netcruiser. Does anyone know if there is a way to have these programs work with Netcruiser, or if there is a specific chess program which is designed to work with Netcruiser. Thanks for any replies. Post answers here or send e-mail.
