I agree wholeheartedly, Ben.  Unfortunately, like so many of you in
Shogi-L-land, I lack the programming know-how to sit down and develop
client software to access such a server.  The Xiangqi and Chess
communities are fortunate to have DOS and Windows 3.1-based devotees with
the time (and charity) on their hands to create and distribute free
clients for all to use.  Go and Shogi programmers for some reason cannot
(or will not) get beyond the UNIX platform. There's little any of the
rest of us can do if we can't do it ourselves--Except maybe switch to
Win95 and use the JavaShogi page.  (and right now I need more reasons
than that to switch to Win95.)
