I'm a UNIX guy too :)

Robofics is a comandline interface only, while xboard/zippy requier
displaying the board on a x-server. The way I interpeded the original
poster, he wanted to start something at his ISP (most likely running
some UNIX) and not stay connected, but rather have the program running
after he logs out. You can't do that with zippy, can you?
