Hi, I've just acquired WinBoard for my NT box. I now want to use it to connect
to my friendly neighborhood Unix box to run gnuchessx on it. The problem is this
I get an error saying that it can't find gnuchessx or something like that. I've
used the /firstHost option to specify the Unix machine, but it never even
asks for a username, let alone a password. Where do I enter this information?

I've had other problems connecting to the ICS. Do I have to be registered to
get this to work, or can I connect as unregistered just to browse around and get
a feel for things?

Thanks for any help,

Will O'Brien,
