Your options sound slow to me, and CCC has to be polled all the time. ICC is
simple and natural. Do you have someone on site who is familiar with ICC ? It's
simple anyway:

- Go to www.chessclub.com.
- Download Blitzin for Windows and install it.
- Run Blitzin, and when asked for user name type "guest".

We can tell ICC about this game, and they will put it on their event schedule to
attract members.

I think Wednesday or Thursday is an off-day. 2 hours/game sounds good and fit in
an evening.

I have P6/200 at work, P2/300 at home. I prefer work because keeping a phone
line open at home is a problem :(
