They are cheap (abt $20). >Every OS has a IP-Stack, also Win3.11 (Trumpet-Shareware). A corresponding interface already exists. Take xboard or winboard. Many amateurs adapted their program to this interface. Besides GUI, x(win)board handles communication via TCP/IP. I guess, one problem is just that no commercial program has integrated the interface yet (perhaps with the exception of Zarkov). So the number of opponents is quite limited. However, IMO this would not be the end of the discussions as you say. Who for instance is going to check that the programs do not use more time than available , etc. I think to be really clean you need a kind of refree program, handling the communication between the chess programs.
