As I stated in a different reply:

A problem with ICS is that they would first have to give (not sell) me an
account.

A problem with FICS is that they refused to give me an account because they
thought my email address which I pay for and have had for years is a throwaway
account (like Hotmail); I was unable to reach an admin to correct their error.

A problem with both is that I'd have to get the source for Linux/OpenBSD client
and hook that up to Symbolic's toolkit.  I'm willing to spend some time on this
if I was first given a real account at either ICS or FICS.
