OK, then.  You will use Winboard with rcmd.exe and the rcmd server.

You get rcmd in the Win32 resource kit for your box.  For instance:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/winntas/support/y2knt4rk.mspx

This seems to be a link to just the rcmd:
http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/rcmd.zip

Anyway, these are the command line options that you use:

/rsh or /remoteShell shellname
Name of the command used to run programs remotely. If this option is not given,
WinBoard uses its own built-in implementation of the Unix rcmd protocol (the
protocol used by rsh).

You could also connect both machines to a FICS host and play against each other
that way.

Lots of other ways too, I imagine.
