You mean if you are connected to a chess server or not?

There is an ICS command in winboard, from the protocol:

"ics HOSTNAME
If HOSTNAME is "-", the engine is playing against a local opponent; otherwise,
the engine is playing on an Internet Chess Server (ICS) with the given hostname.
This command is new in protocol version 2 and is not sent unless the engine has
enabled it with the "feature" command. Example: "ics freechess.org" "
