The last three lines are commented out, so it is me version crafty running on the remote machine. xboard opens with fp vs crafty@192.168.0.1 I make a move, then nothing happens until I try to force it (or after time) when I get the error writing to first chess program: Broken pipe message. Sound like some more general connection issue, but I can ping etc and am posting this via the modem connected to the machine I am trying to run crafty on. (The script file with -fh also works if run on the remote machine directly.). Frank
