If you have Internet access, try putting each player in front of his
own machine and having each one connect to the Internet Chess Server.
The ICS provides all kinds of nice features for games between two
humans.  There are enough instructions to get you started in the
xboard man page, and a couple of files with more information in the
xboard 3.0 distribution.

(If for some reason you want to have two people sit in front of the
same machine and play using xboard, it would probably not be too hard
for you to change the program to let the clocks be turned on in that
case, but I haven't thought out the details.)
