Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) can be connected to without any special
oftware. Connect to freechess.org port 5000. You can also play suicide
chess in here as well as normal chess. I even played against someone in
Alberta, Canada. But that server does not seem to accept backspace, and it
will not repeat what you type in HyperTerminal (even if you enable echo).
Use the other program to connect to it, then it will repeat what you type
and Enter key will work properly as well.
