I've done it.  The main trick is making it work using Win9x since
that OS doesn't come with any builtin rshell capablility.  There are
a few rshell daemons available for Win9x around on the net.  The
one I found sort of worked, but tended to eat the first few Winboard
commands at the start of a match.  So I wrote my own pseudo-rshell
server (by looking at what Winboard was doing).
