Check that you're using the server `freechess.org', *not*
`www.freechess.org'. Usually, they're equivalent but, at the
moment, the first one is working and the second isn't.

Done all that - still no cigar, pls. stop flogging a dead cow Dave..

Well, pretty much everyone else has managed to connect using various
interfaces. I'll stop flogging you when you manage to connect
yourself.

I just played a couple of games using the WinBoard. Why haven't you
tried the WinBoard or XBoard both of which work? Don't know how? Ask for
help, then.

--Ok, Timo, I'll have another look @ 'winboard'. Last time, for some
reason (can't remember exactly what) - didn't like. That's the Dutch
dudes platform - no?..
