The FICS server has not had zero downtime since July 16, 2006. I've
been playing games, chatting, and watching the Topalov-Kramnik match
all weekend.

The question is, why can't you connect to FICS?

* What does your BabasChess console window show when you attempt to
connect and play chess?
* Is it possible you--or someone sharing your computer--was banned?
* What happens when you ping freechess.org? {In Windows, click on Start
| Run. Type "cmd" enter. In the black DOS window that appears type
ping -n 10 freechess.org enter. Cut and paste what appears}

From these answers, maybe we can narrow it down.

Sometimes when I've not been able to connect to FICS, I run the "Clear
DNS Cache" (I think that's it - it might be slightly different, e.g.
"DNS Reset"...) command from my client (I use Fixation on a Mac).
