Crafty is playing on a PII 333 mhz and the other programs are playing on a K6-2/350 Mhz. I am using the auto232 WBENGINE by Remi Coulom. It allows you to play some Winboard engines using auto232. All that is required is a "Null Modem Cable" to connect the two serial ports of the computers and the software. There may be better ways but this is meeting my needs for now. By the way the Chessbase engines all have auto232 built in and will play each other using auto232 with only the cable required. Jim Walker
